Echo Of Light (GB)

Dubai Millennium - Spirit Of Tara, by Sadler's Wells
Bay, foaled 2002.
Breeder: Kilcarn Stud.
Other sons of Dubai Millennium at stud: Dubawi.

High class miler beat the York track record over 9f

Echo Of Light joins Dubawi, who has his first yearlings in 2008, as one of two stallion sons of European Champion Miler Dubai Millennium, who so sadly succumbed to grass sickness early in his career at stud and was only represented by 56 foals.

A €1,200,000 purchase at Goffs, Echo Of Light is from an exceptional family, being a half-brother to Akarem out of Spirit Of Tara, a sister to Salsabil and a half-sister to Marju. Admired by Sheikh Mohammed as one of the best of his beloved Dubai Millennium’s progeny, he took time to come to hand and raced only once at two.

Echo Of Light broke his maiden in August of his three-year-old career, over 11f. He won once more over 10f before a last place finish in the Champion Stakes concluded his season.

He showed improved form when dropped back to a mile and 9f as a four and five-year-old, winning the Summer Mile, the Prix Daniel Wildenstein, the Prix Gontaut-Biron and twice winning the Group Three Strensall Stakes at York, on the second occasion beating the useful Group winner Halicarnassus whilst breaking the Knavesmire’s nine furlong track record.

With such a strong pedigree, Echo Of Light looks sure to be well supported at an initial fee of £5,000.
