First Win for Record Priced Pride of Dubai Filly

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 22

The most expensive yearling filly by Pride of Dubai broke the ice for her first win at Kembla on Thursday with Queen of Dubai scoring a narrow victory in a thrilling finish.

Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Queen of Dubai failed to flatter in two unplaced starts earlier this year, but a recent trial win indicated she had more to offer this time around.

A full sister to stakes-placed Dubai Star, she finished with great determination for Tim Clark to win the 1000m maiden by half a head in a blanket finish.
