At stud, Dubawi has been a highly successful breeding stallion, siring major winners such as Ghaiyyath, Too Darn Hot, Al Kazeem, Makfi, Old Persian, Lucky Nine and Night of Thunder.
Ridden by William Buick he started favourite and won by one and a quarter lengths from Saga after taking the lead approaching the final furlong.
[8] In the following month at the same track the colt was stepped up in class and distance for the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes over one mile and started the 85/40 favourite against six opponents.
After taking the lead three furlongs out he opened up a clear advantage but began to struggle in the closing stages and was caught in the final strides by Royal Patronage who won by a neck.
[10] On his final appearance of the year, Coroebus started 4/5 favourite for the Group 3 Autumn Stakes over one mile at Newmarket on 9 October when the best fancied of his nine opponents were Dubai Poet and Imperial Fighter.
After being restrained by Buick towards the rear of the field Coroebus moved up to take the lead approaching the last quarter mile and won "comfortably" by two lengths.
"[12] For his first run as a three-year-old Coroebus contested the Group 1 2000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on 30 April and went off the 5/1 third choice in the betting behind his stablemate Native Trail and the Irish-trained Luxembourg.
Royal Patronage set the pace, with Coroebus being restrained towards the rear of the field before making rapid progress approaching the last quarter mile.
After racing just behind the leaders as Lusail set the pace, Coroebus looked unlikely to obtain a clear run in the straight before breaking through on the inside rail.
