The Revenant (horse)

At stud, Dubawi has been a highly successful breeding stallion, siring major winners such as Ghaiyyath, Monterosso, Al Kazeem, Makfi, Old Persian, Lucky Nine and Night of Thunder.

He was ridden in both races by Pierre-Charles Boudot who became his regular jockey and who was again in the saddle when The Reveneant ended his season with a victory in the Prix Gay Mecene on very soft ground at Saint-Cloud Racecourse in November.

Ridden by Olivier Peslier he raced towards the rear before finishing strongly to take the lead in the final strides and won by a head from Graphite and Lunch Lady.

[9] In May The Revenant was sent to Germany to contest the Group 2 Badener Meile at Baden-Baden in which he was ridden by Ronan Thomas and went off the 2.2/1 second choice in the betting behind the Irish challenger Imaging (Gladness Stakes).

[11] Ten days later The Revenant made his first appearance in his native England for more than three years when he contested the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot Racecourse and finished second of the sixteen runners, one and a quarter lengths behind the winner King of Change, after being denied a clear run inside the final furlong.

The Revenant was reserved for an autumn campaign and did not make his seasonal debut until 3 October when he attempted to repeat his 2019 success in the Prix Daniel Wildenstein and started the 0.7/1 favourite against six opponents.

He started the 5/1 second favourite behind Palace Pier in a fourteen-runner field which also included Circus Maximus, Nazeef, Lord Glitters, Veracious, Century Dream (Celebration Mile) and Molatham (Jersey Stakes).

I had him ready to run in the spring, but when lockdown came I decided to send him out to grass and he had a good spell", while Boudot commented "Today I was very confident with his trainer, and the horse did it well on the track.
