Champions Gallery (Dansili-Pure, by Slip Anchor)
Brilliant young sire Dansili has taken Europe by storm. By Danehill (a major plus) European sire Dansili simply hasn’t put a hoof wrong as evidenced by his UK 2010 fee of £65,000 (A$112,000) at Juddmonte Farms-owned Banstead Manor. Already boasting 42 stakes-winners (seven Gr1 winners) including current international stars Harbinger (the world's highest-rated horse), US triple Gr1 winner Proviso and recent Irish Gr1-winning 2YO Zoffany, Dansili only has one son standing in Australia – at Queensland’s Kilto Park. A 2010 freshman, Champions Gallery (Dansili-Pure, by Slip Anchor) won three races in the UK before he was shipped to Hong Kong, winning at Sha Tin in the lead-up race to the Derby and subsequently finished third in the 2007 Gr1 HK Derby from three starts. prior to suffering a career-ending tendon injury. Owned by the same connections as Hong Kong star Lucky Owners, Champions Gallery is out of a half-sister to 5-time European Gr1 winner User Friendly. A very exciting find!

Son of Dansili - New to Stud

The hottest stallion in Europe this year is undoubtedly Dansili, whose offspring include record breaking performer Harbinger, US triple Group One winner Proviso and boom two year-old colt Zoffany, so Queensland breeders will be delighted to learn that a son of this emerging force will stand his debut season at Kilto Park this spring.

A three time winner in the UK before transferring to Hong Kong, where he won at Sha Tin and finished third in the prestigious Hong Kong Derby HK Gr 1 from just three starts, Champions Gallery (GB) is the first son of Dansili to find his way to stud in Australia.

“Champions Gallery showed plenty of ability in Hong Kong, but suffered a tendon injury after the Derby and was sent to Australia for rehabilitation before eventually going back into work with Tony Vasil,” explained Neville Bell of Kilto Park.

“A recurrence of that injury curtailed his career and as a result he was sent to us as his owners have enjoyed some success in standing Lucky Owners at Widden Stud and they have decided to give this horse a similar opportunity and will be supporting him with their own mares.”

The rise of Dansili on the world stage this year has prompted interest in Champions Gallery, who is an eye-catching near black individual standing 16.1 hands.

A winner at two over seven furlongs, Champions Gallery was effective up to a mile and a quarter, winning a strong race at Beverley in the UK at his last appearance before heading to Hong Kong, with respected publication UK Racing Post offering a glowing endorsement of that win.

UK Racing Post - A cracking turnout for a handicap which would have graced York last week, with several progressive and potentially very useful three-year-olds in the line-up. They went a good gallop - three of the first four came from off the pace - and the form is likely to work out.

As far as CHAMPIONS GALLERY is concerned that will chiefly be of interest to punters in Hong Kong, which is where he reportedly heads after this success. That´s a shame from a British point of view, as he had looked good in winning at Ascot earlier in the season, had an excuse for his subsequent Salisbury flop in a modest gallop and showed here he is a three-year-old on the up.

On the pedigree front, Champions Gallery has a female family packed with outcross European bloodlines, his unraced dam Pure, a full sister by English Derby winner Slip Anchor to champion filly and five- time Group One winner User Friendly, whose many career highlights included victories in the English, Irish and Yorkshire Oaks as well as the St Leger against the colts.

His sire Dansili, a son of the legendary Danehill, stands at a fee of 65,000 pounds at the Juddmonte Farms owned Banstead Manor in the UK and is the sire of 42 stakes-winners, seven of them Group One winners.

“Dansili is doing a phenomenal job and like his own sire Danehill, gets two year-olds, three year-olds, sprinters and stayers, so it will be no surprise if he can emerge as a sire of sires as well and in Champions Gallery we have the first of them for Australia,” Neville Bell added.
