Pride Of Dubai was handed his third winner when the Sense Of Honour won the Ladbrokes 2YO Plate.
Coolmore's first-season sire Pride Of Dubai (Street Cry) was handed his third winner on Monday when the Mick Price and Mick Kent jnr-trained Sense Of Honour (2 f ex Little Miss Smiley by Husson) landed the Ladbrokes 2YO Plate (1200m) at Sandown-Lakeside on debut.
The two-year-old filly was purchased by her owners Phoenix Thoroughbreds for $340,000 at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and she scooted away from her rivals in the straight eventually beating Miss Inbetween (Fighting Sun) by a dominant three lengths.
Sense of Honour is a half-sister to Group 2-placed Serious Liaison (Zoffany) and is the third winner from three to race from stakes-placed Husson (Hussonet) mare Little Miss Smiley, while Group 2 winner Leonardo Da Hinchi (Hinchinbrook) appears under the filly's third dam.
The filly joins Listed winner Tanker and Platinum Dubai as the stallion's other winners while he is also the sire of the stakes-placed fillies Bella Nipotina and Dubai Star. He is currently sitting at the head of the first season sires table in Australia by earnings.
Pride Of Dubai's nine yearlings to sell at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale realised an aggregate of $1,855,000 and the stallion finished the sale with an average of $206,111 and he has had three yearlings sell so far at Karaka this week for an aggregate of NZ$635,000.
The stallion, who stood at stud last year for a fee of $38,500 (inc GST), has 17 lots catalogued at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, 20 lots catalogued at Inglis Premier Yearling Sale and nine lots set to be offered at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale - one of which is a sister to the filly and she is catalogued as Lot 33.
