Dubawi (foaled 7 February 2002) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and active sire.
Dubawi is a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. He was one of the only crop of foals sired by Dubai Millennium, an outstanding racehorse. His dam, Zomaradah was a top class racemare who won the Oaks d'Italia, E. P. Taylor Stakes, Premio Lydia Tesio and the Royal Whip Stakes.[2] As a descendant of the broodmare Sunbittern, Zomaradah, who also produced the Lancashire Oaks winner Emirates Queen, was closely related to In the Wings, High-Rise and Virginia Waters.[3] The colt raced in the blue colours of Godolphin and was trained by Saeed bin Suroor. He was ridden in all but one of his races by Frankie Dettori.
Dubawi was undefeated as a two-year-old in 2004. He won a maiden raceatGoodwood Racecourse in June, the Group Three Superlative StakesatNewmarket in July and the Group One National Stakes at the Curragh in September.[4]
In the following year he started favourite for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but finished fifth behind Footstepsinthesand. He defeated Oratorio in the Irish 2000 Guineas[5] and then moved up in distance to finish third to MotivatorinThe Derby. He returned to one mile to win the Prix Jacques Le MaroisatDeauville Racecourse in August[6] and ended his career by finishing second to Starcraft in the Queen Elizabeth II StakesatAscot a month later.
Dubawi stands as a breeding stallion at his owner's Dalham Hall Stud at a fee of £350,000 for the 2023 season.[7]

Dodging Bullets was bred by acclaimed flat jockey Frankie Dettori, having originally been bred as an Epsom Derby prospect.
