INTERNATIONAL ACTION
Another exciting weekend for DANSILI with another 3 winners
bringing his 2006 total to 36 winners of 46 races.
On Saturday DANSILI DANCER (4yo g ex Magic Slipper by Habitat)
won the Class 2 Handicap over 8 furlongs at Goodwood by 1¼
lengths. This takes his weight up to 8-06 for the Hunt Cup at
Royal Ascot. Interestingly Dansili Dancer also won at this
meeting last year. Whilst at Lingfield STRIKE FORCE (2yo c ex
Miswaki Belle by Miswaki) won the first race, a 6 furlong 2yo
Maiden, to notch up Dansili’s second 2yo winner of the year.
On Sunday CROOKHAVEN (3yo c ex My Mariam by Salse) won the 10f
Median Auction Race at Roscommon in a straightforward two
lengths win, having finished 7 ½ lengths behind Araafa in the Irish
2000 Guineas on his previous start.
Over in France Early March finished 3rd in the Prix du Chemin de
Fer du Nord Gr.3 at Chantilly. Only beaten ¾ of a length and
a head, Early March led until headed 130 yards out, and lost second
in the last strides. On his previous run Early March had
finished 2nd on the 25th May at Lyon-Parilly having been off the
track since the 12th June 2005.
Not to be out done Dansili’s full-brother CACIQUE kept the
family flag flying in America by winning the Manhattan Handicap
Gr.1 at Belmont Park. He was the third Gr.1 winner at Belmont
Park for his dam Hasili.
