We're well aware of the influence English stallion Dansili is having on international racing as the leading British-based sire of G1 winners in the past decade. From very few representatives Down Under, Dansili has already stamped his class with G1 winners Foreteller (Underwood Stakes) and Grand Marshall (Sydney Cup). This colt's sire, the Irish G1 winning juvenile Zoffany, was among the best of his generation and we were taken by the handful of first crop yearlings at this year's sales series, in particular this athletic colt we bought at the Inglis Classic sale.

The colt is a half brother to cracking sprinter Under The Louvre which was narrowly beaten in the Oakleigh Plate (G1) not long after our purchase and has since won the Hareeba Stakes. The dam is a half sister to a G2 winner and the third dam won the Widden Stakes so this colt will have every of making next year's Inglic Classic 2yo race.
