fifteen lengths from a field which included Canadian International Stakes winner Infamy, and Breeders' Cup Classic runner-up Ibn Bey. Coincidentally, this was the race in which his mother, Height of Fashion, had recorded her most important success when defeating Ardross in 1982. He was made 2-1 favourite for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot three weeks later. He ran up to his best form, taking the lead in the straight before finishing second to Mtoto, ahead of the subsequent Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Tony Bin. In his final race of the year he finished fourth in the Arc, beaten just over a length behind Tony Bin, Mtoto and Boyatino. In both the King George and the Arc he finished well ahead of the other three-year-olds. 1989: four-year-old season Unfuwain's four-year-old career consisted of just two races in the spring of 1989 for both of which he started odds-on favourite. At Newbury in April he led half a mile from home and ran on strongly to beat Per Quod by one and a half lengths in the John Porter Stakes. Once again, he was following a family pattern, the race having been won the year before by his full brother Alwasmi. Three weeks later in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket Unfuwain went clear a quarter mile from home and did not have to be put under pressure to record a one length win over the Derby runner-up Glacial Storm. Sheriff's Star, who went on to win both the Coronation Cup and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud later that summer, was beaten a further six lengths in fourth. As the season progressed, Unfuwain reportedly became difficult to train, and was retired to stud without racing again. Assessment In the official International Classification, Unfuwain was the fourth highest-rated three-year-old colt in Europe in 1988 and the highest-rated colt in the 11-14 furlong division. Unfuwain was given a Timeform rating of 99p as a two-year-old, 130 as a three-year-old and 126 as a four-year-old. Stud career Unfuwain was retired to his owner's Nunnery Stud at Thetford in Norfolk. As a stallion, Unfuwain sired numerous top class performers. He was especially successful as an influence for stamina, and his fillies tended to be better than his colts. His progeny include Lahan, Petrushka, Lailani, Zahrat Dubai, Bolas, Eswarah and Alhaarth. Unfuwain's most notable achievement as a sire came in the
