Tiger Roll is fast becoming one of the most popular racehorses in the land.

DUBAWI produced a breathtaking performance to run away with the Dunnes Stores National Stakes at the Curragh yesterday and evoke memories of his sire, the brilliant but ill-fated Dubai Millennium.

Dubawi, trained by Saeed Bin Suroor and ridden by Frankie Dettori, has landed the Group One Dunnes Stores National Stakes at the Curragh today.
