Dubawi is a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud.

[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.

He returned to one mile to win the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville Racecourse in August[6] and ended his career by finishing second to Starcraft in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot 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.

Dubawi's first Grade I success in the National Hunt sphere came when Hisaabaat won the Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at the 2012 Punchestown Festival.
