Description

High class mare by the great Dubawi.

Lightly raced, SKEIN showed her hall of fame trainer Ron Quinton Group ability. Retired prematurely, she faced the starter just three times, winning in dominant fashion at the 2nd time of asking before going amiss.

Ron trained three Dubawis at the time, and Skein was arguably the most exciting: the other two went on to win at Group level.

Dubawi is one of the great stallions of the world, currently standing at a fee approaching $700,000AUD.

Skein is a medium sized mare, and a good type.

Reproductively she has been relatively straight forward in recent years being treated with Regumate along with monthly treatments.

She has five fillies in succession, all of whom have been retained by hall of fame trainer Ron Quinton and his partners, and they will be given every possible chance. There remains a good probability Skein has much to offer and carries plenty of upside.
