Lady Of Harrods’ colt breaks maiden at Gulfstream.

The Mohamed Jehaludi-trained Omaha City (2 c Temple City - Lady Of Harrods by Dubawi) - who is a son of dual Australian Group 3 winner Lady Of Harrods (Dubawi) - shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking when winning over five furlongs at Gulfstream. 

The two-year-old surged clear to defeat Big Daddy Dave (Khozan) by one and a quarter lengths with Hall Rich Legacy (Field Commission) three-quarters of a length back in third.

Omaha City is the first runner out of the mare and was bred by Spendthrift Farm. He was purchased by Bibi Jehaud for just US$5,500 at the 2019 Keeneland September Yearling Sale and he has now won almost US$70,000 in prize money. 

Lady Of Harrods was first purchased by Dance and Gorham for $4,000 at the 2010 Inglis Weanling & Broodmare Sale, before being snapped up by Russell Cameron Racing for $80,000 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale the following year. 

During her racing career she landed three races, headlined by HDF McNeil Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) and Thousand Guineas Prelude (Gr 3, 1400m) and she retired with prize-money earnings of $277,460. 

She then realised $390,000 at the 2014 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale after being purchased by Segenhoe Stud, before being bought up by Spendthrift for US$400,000 at the same sale two years' later. 

Lady Of Harrods herself is from the second crop of Dubawi's (Dubai Millennium) three years shuttling to Australia and she is half-sister to two winners.

Further back this is the same as 1997 Black Opal Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) winner Fraud (Bellotto).
