DANSILI FLYING HIGH IN FRANCE

Dream Peace led home a 1–2 for DANSILI in the Gr.2 Prix de la Nonette Shadwell at Deauville yesterday. The three-year-old filly got the better of Epic Love (DANSILI) by half a length in an exciting finish, beating five British raiders.

This was the bay filly’s first win at Group level, after placings in the Gr.3 Prix Chloe and the Gr.3 Prix de Psyche and a Listed win at Saint-Cloud in May. She has now won four of her nine starts. Her trainer, Robert Collet, has nominated the Gr.1 Prix de l’Opera as her next target.

DANSILI's good run in France continued at the Arqana Yearling Sales where he sired the third top lot of the day. Lot 119, a filly out of Platonic who is a full sister to Prudenzia made €500,000 to Alan Cooper acting on behalf of Course Investment Corporation.
