THIRD GR.1 WINNER FOR DANSILI
Young Banstead Manor Stud resident Dansili
sired his third Gr.1 winner of the season in California on Sunday.
Already the sire of Arc and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud hero Rail
Link and Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Passage of Time, the son
of Danehill is responsible for Matriarch Stakes heroine Price Tag.
The three-year-old, who has only been with Bobby Frankel for six
weeks, was gaining just reward for her harsh disqualification from
first place in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches.
Settled near the back off a strong pace set by River’s Prayer, she
had only two of her 13 rivals behind her as they entered the home
straight, but she flew past the field close home for her first top
level success. Dansili is the covering sire of 11 mares catalogued
at Tattersalls this week, and one mare at the Arqana
sale.
