Danse D’Ecole ensured second season sire Daylami maintained a 100% winners to runners strike rate in 2004, with a six length victory in France yesterday. Owned by her breeder Sheikh Mohammed, the beautifully bred Danse d’Ecole is out Dance Of Leaves, herself a daughter of Sadler’s Wells and Fall Aspen.

Her facile victory came just three days after the highly rated Tamarillo’s success in the UAE Oaks in Dubai.

Daylami’s three runners this year are now all winners, and this season promises to be a most exciting one for the promising young sire, with unbeaten Group winner Grey Swallow and Stakes winner Bay Tree both holding Classic entries.
