Kingston Hill (GB)

Unlike their Australian counterparts, European breeders were rather slow to appreciate Danehill=s vast potential as a sire and sire of sires. Fortunately Danehill Dancer, a member of his third crop, helped change all that. In winning the Phoenix S. and National S. in 1995, Danehill Dancer became the first son of Danehill to become a Group 1 winner in the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, some of the shine was knocked off these achievements when he ended his career with a sequence of six straight defeats at the ages of three and four. Consequently, he began his stallion career at the modest fee of IR4,000gns at a Coolmore satellite in Ireland.
