Stormhill Dancer Crushes World Class Foes

Late blooming Stormhill Dancer made his stakes debut a memorable one when he obliterated a graded quality field in Ireland on Saturday.  The big Danehill Dancer colt proved he can run with world class competition as he won his fourth straight while posting a lifetime best speed figure of 114 for the odd distance of 11.5 furlongs.

 

G1-Penn Endurance champion Can I Get Twelve salvaged the place but was no match for the winner who ran off and hid.  Third place finisher Rark it Up ran down pace setting Stunning Blow on the final turn and opened up a lead before succumbing to the winner in mid-stretch.  G1-Breeders’ Bowl Turf hero Signs of Change finished fourth.

 

The victory pushed the former claimer’s career earnings to almost $200,000.  Look for Stormhill Dancer to show up in a graded stake week 5002.
