Danehill (1986-2003) was an American thoroughbred racehorse that topped the lists of the most successful racehorse sires in various countries several times. It was a bay stallion by Danzig out of Razyana (dam's sire His Majesty ). During his racing career he belonged to his breeder, Prince Khalid Abdullah.
Racing career
Trained by Jeremy Tree, Danehill started nine times and won four times, with only two failures. After he finished third in the 2000 Guineas and fourth in the Irish 200 Guineas as a three-year-old , he was used on shorter distances. Here he was very successful and won the Golden Jubilee Stakes (Cork and Orrery Stakes) in the Royal Ascot race week and the Haydock Sprint Cup. He made a total of £ 177,465 during his racing career.
Breeding career
Danehill was sold in 1990 to a community of owners consisting of the Irish Coolmore Stud, where it was set up in 1990, and the Arrowfield Stud, New South Wales . Therefore it was set up alternately in Ireland and Australia. He also covered a season in Japan in 1996. Due to his breeding success in Europe, Coolmore acquired the missing half from Danehill and had to pay $ 24 million for it, making Danehill the most valuable thoroughbred in Australian breeding history.
Together with Sadler's Wells he was one of the world's best sires in the years 1990–2000. Because he could serve both the Australian and Irish breeding seasons, he witnessed the astronomical number of 2008 starters. These included 1,545 sons and daughters who each won at least one race and 349 stakes winners (winners of important races) and 89 winners in Group 1 races . His offspring won a total of almost 300 million euros. This made him one of the most expensive stallions, a jump cost € 375,000 in the year he died.
Danehill and many of his sons were dominantly brown . There were no foxes among their offspring . There was only mold if the mare was also gray.
On May 13, 2003, Danehill died in an accident at Coolmore Stud.
