Dunguib (foaled 8 April 2003) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who became the second horse to complete the Cheltenham and Punchestown double in 2009 for trainer Philip Fenton and owners Daniel Harnett and Lily Lawlor. However he was later disqualified from his Punchestown Champion Bumper victory
Dunguib was sold by breeder Liam Meade as a foal at the Tattersalls Ireland horse sales in November 2003 to Daniel Harnett and Lily Lawlor, who intended to sell him on as a three-year-old like they had many horses before, including Irish Grand National winner Niche Market.
As they lived near to the town of Killenaule in County Tipperary, both Harnett and Lawlor knew Philip Fenton well as he rode for local trainer Edward O'Grady as an amateur for many years, securing a Cheltenham Festival success for the trainer on Loving Around in the 1996 National Hunt Chase. Both told Fenton that if their son of Presenting was not sold on then they would put him in training at his Carrick On Suir base in the neighbouring county of Waterford.
The name Dunguib comes from a small townland outside the village Killenaule of the same name.
Dunguib had his first racing start at the 2008 Punchestown Festival where he was beaten by On Raglan Road in a National Hunt flat race. He went on to win his next two starts in National Hunt flat races, including the Grade 2 Future Champ INH Flat Race. After that convincing victory, Dunguib was moved to the highest level to contest the Champion Bumper at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, a race Harnett and Lawlor had dreamed of winning for some time.
