dansili

dansili was sired by danehill out of the dam hasili dansili was foaled on 01 of august in 1996 .
dansili is a 20 year old bay horse . dansili is trained by w f clark , at stawell and owned by .
dansili has a 0 % win percentage and 100 % place percentage . dansili ' s last race event was at g b - ascot .
fame at last’s success hasn’t been limited to her dansili progeny , as she also produced the very useful irish filly zaminast to zamindar . she has a yearling from the first crop by dansili ’s brother champs elysees and is again in foal to dansili .
, who is based at newmarket . it is sired by the stallion dansili out of the dam epopee .
the fastest and most precocious 2yo by dansili . out of a machiavellian mare just like shamardal and dark angel .
dansili’s last race event was at 04 / 11 / 2000 and it has not been nominated for any upcoming race .
dansili career form is wins , 3 seconds , 1 thirds from 4 starts with a lifetime career prize money of $ .
the toughness of dansili ’s background is one of the reasons why his progeny have earned an enviable reputation for soundness . famous name’s latest win came a day after three of dansili ’s five - year - olds had acquitted themselves well at group level .
danehill has founded a major dynasty , with dansili proving himself a rightful heir . with a pedigree which blends speed and stamina , dansili is following danehill’s example by providing breeders with everything from group - winning juveniles to top - class middle - distance performers .
a well - bred miler by danehill who could rely on the backing of juddmonte , dansili has been well supported from the outset .
but in dansili , british breeding has had access to a tremendous servant , one who has been well managed throughout by his owners .
the haras de saint pair has been a strong supporter of dansili in recent years . the stud has two foals by juddmonte’s sire , a filly out of kitcat and a colt out of san sicharia , and then both via medici and waldjagd are carrying to dansili .
dansili’s top - class 2yo strategic prince is a proven g1 sire , having produced la collina ( phoenix stakes ) , but his overall record is poor . early march , one of the first to advertise dansili’s merits as a sire , has done nothing to date .
cacique , a dual grade 1 winner and full brother to stallions dansili and champs elysees , has been retired from stud duty by juddmonte farm .
with older flagbearers such as queen’s trust , so beloved and bess of hardwick also remaining in training , it should be business as usual for dansili in 2017 .
danehill’s other outstanding sire from his 1996 crop was dansili , who was france’s champion sire in 2006 . an extremely consistent sire , dansili was represented by 22 stakes winners last year , and he has already had six black type winners this year . to date , he has sired 77 stakes winners and winners of over $ 76 000 000 .
dansili’s sons at stud are still very young , with only prix de l’arc de triomphe winner rail link , strategic prince , early march and zambezi sun having had runners .
laughing is one of two grade 1 winners in the us this season for dansili alongside james wigan’s stoute’s dank , the wide margin winner of the beverly d stakes in august .
the four - year - old son of dansili gained the biggest success of his career when he claimed the john smith ' s cup at york on his most recent outing .
dansili , a top - class racehorse in england and france and one of the leading british - based sires in recent history , has been pensioned from stud duties at the age of 22 due to declining fertility , juddmonte farms has announced . winner of five races from 14 starts at 2 , 3 and 4 , dansili was a group 2 winner [ … ]
most recently , cacique , another full sibling to dansili and banks hill , captured the group one manhattan handicap at belmont after winning a group two race for andre fabre in france .
funnily enough , dansili’s current juvenile group winner , zoffany , is somewhat similar . he is out of a mare by machiavellian , whose dam is by halo ( out of a half sister to natalma ) out of a daughter of natalma . he’s also one of seven stakes winners for dansili out of mr . prospector line mare . zoffany’s second dam is bred on a nijinsky ii / blushing groom cross that is a parallel to kahyasi , the broodmare sire of dansili . doubling nijnsky ii and blushing groom seems to be very effective for dansili , as it appears in five of his stakes winners . eight of his stakes winners , seven group or graded , and two group or grade i , have northern dancer and blushing groom combined .
the fugue is a daughter of juddmonte stallion dansili out of the group ii - placed sadler ' s wells mare twyla tharp . the cross of dansili with sadler ' s wells mares has been an extraordinarily successful one ; tried 65 times to date , it has 17 % stakes winners to runners including group i winners passage of time and flintshire in addition to the fugue .
famous name can surely thank dansili for much of his toughness . dansili ’s blue - hen dam hasili raced eight times at two and a further nine times the following year . dansili was sound enough to have raced on at five , if required , but he retired after his narrow defeat in the gr . 1 breeders’ cup mile at four . however , his brothers cacique and champs elysees both enjoyed grade 1 success after the age of four , as did famous name’s broodmare sire quest for fame , who added the gr . 1 hollywood turf handicap to his win in the 1990 derby .
the stallion has just one foal in his 2014 crop out of the imported dansili mare great aunt [ gb ] . he did not cover a mare in 2014 but four visited him in 2015 .
nancy sexton looks at the career , the influence and the prospects for 2017 and beyond of the outstanding juddmonte sire dansili , whose progeny include international superstars harbinger , rail link , the fugue and flintshire .
the juddmonte horse dansili was a decent miler . as a stallion , dansili has been an unqualified success having sired several gr . 1 winners like flintshire , harbinger , rail link , magog , foreteller , the fugue , miss france and others . with sons like harbinger , rail link , bated breath , zoffany and strategic prince - - among others - - now at stud , dansili bids fair to be called an emerging sire of sires . dansili as a sire has not only been very successful but also very versatile . the dam line surfrider is equally impressive for he comes from a family that has provided sires like storm bird , steady effort , gold crest , tralos , signal tap , green tune , a . p . warrior and others including storm trooper and the short - lived sunday doubt in india .
famous name , big break and hopefully ashdan are all examples of dansili ’s affinity for mares from the blushing groom male line . he has four stakes - winning daughters out of rainbow quest mares , plus famous name and big break out of a granddaughter of rainbow quest . dansili also has a compelling record with mares by blushing groom’s son rahy . this partnership has only four foals of racing age but three of them are blacktype winners . he also has a blacktype winner among his two foals out of arazi mares . perhaps this success with the blushing groom line stems from the fact that dansili ’s pedigree also contains this exceptional juvenile .
by that time , dansili had another string to his bow in strategic prince , a precocious 2 - year - old who had won the g2 july and g2 vintage stakes for paul cole . with g1 criterium de saint - cloud heroine passage of time and g3 winner thousand words within his juvenile armoury for that season , dansili headed into the following year with several classic prospects – and an increased fee of £30 , 000 .
harbinger’s victory was the fourth stakes win for one of dansili offspring in a perior of just four days , following a listed win by the three - year - old filly bewitched , and group iii wins by five - year - old famous name , and juvenile colt zoffany . with six crops at the track – including current two - year - olds – dansili has 42 stakes winners , 25 group or graded winners , and six group or grade i scorers . dansili’s haul for the year is two group / grade i winners , eight group or graded winners , and 12 stakes winners , so there is no doubt that a major sire has arrived .

these foals’ lack of size no doubt owed something to their being their dam’s first two produce , as all of fame at last’s subsequent foals have been bigger . even so , it made sense to look for a stallion who usually transmits some size , such as dansili . dansili also appealed on the basis that his progeny are rarely lengthy - a tendency which also applied to his sire danehill - so he made a lot of sense from a conformation viewpoint for fame at last .
dansili has always produced top middle distance horses but his last two crops have shown more stamina as a group then the earlier cheaper years . from his first six crops around 60 % of the wins at three came over a mile or shorter trips and 40 % over longer distances , from his last two crops this trend has been reversed and now 60 % are over more than a mile and 40 % over a mile or less . the other obvious change is that dansili’s progeny run and win less frequently on the all weather , which is again a sign of class given the overall standard of all weather racing . dansili has become a top classic stallion , and saint pair is looking forward to testing his progeny .
his record acts as a reminder that dansili was another who put up his best performances on good ground or firmer . on the three occasions he tackled ground faster than good , he was beaten half a length in the queen anne stakes , three - quarters of a length in giant’s causeway’s sussex stakes and a neck , when unlucky , in the breeders’ cup mile . in the circumstances , it isn’t surprising that dansili’s progeny have achieved their highest winning percentages when the ground was either good or firmer .
the descendants of such as danzig , sadler ' s wells and mr prospector , all absent from leroidesanimaux ' s background , may well have acquired a natural mate . inbreeding to the female line , with daughters of dansili , may also prove successful .
dansili had raced just the once at two , when successful over a mile at longchamp , and while there were 12 first - crop 2yo winners in britain and ireland in 2004 , there was always the strong suspicion that many would improve with time .
dansili took a long time to establish himself as a top sire . juddmonte’s son of danehill started his stud career standing at £8 , 000 , then £10 , 000 and four years at £12 , 500 . it was only in 2007 that his fee was increased to £30 , 000 and then following year it more than doubled again to £75 , 000 . the results on the track have improved significantly as well and dansili is now , along with monsun and galileo , clearly at the top of europe’s stallions . from dansili’s last three crops of three year olds more than 7 % of his foals have achieved a rating of 110 or higher , and nearly 20 % a rating of 95 or higher , figures only monsun and galileo can begin to match among active european sires .
do we have hasili in here ? she is the dam of dansili ( stallion ) , champs elysees ( stallion ) , cacique ( stallion ) , intercontinental ( mare ) , heat haze ( mare ) , and banks hill ( mare ) . all of them have won over a million dollars in earnings and have become great sires . here is a photo of her urltoken dansili , champs elysees , and cacique are full brothers . and intercontinental and banks hill are full sisters . talk about one heck of a family .
there must also be some comment made on the quality of the ancestors in the fugue ' s pedigree . while her sire failed to win a group or grade i race ( the reality being that—as war front , distorted humor , and dansili are showing—there is just as much merit in a strong gr . ii winner as a gr . i winner ) , dansili has proven himself a wonderful sire . he is also royally bred , being by danehill out of the great producer hasili—that itself setting him up as a potentially good broodmare sire .
mill reef and / or never bend also feature in the background of fallen for you and rail link , as well as further seven group 2 and 3 winners by dansili , namely dream peace , glowing , illustrious blue , remote , requinto , thomas chippendale and zibelina .
their successes have gone some way to balance the earlier disappointments of rail link , strategic prince and thousand words ; each sired a g1 horse – epicuris , la collina and top notch tonto respectively – but overall , did nothing for dansili’s reputation as a sire of sires .
there are plenty of other tough performers among dansili ' s total of 45 group / graded winners , including proviso ( four grade 1 wins as a five - year - old ) and illustrious blue ( gr . 2 goodwood cup as a seve - year - old ) .
danehill had a number of top - class stallions , in both the north and south hemispheres , emerge from his 1996 crop . his australian born sons included commands and redoute’s choice , while dansili ( one of danehill’s very best sons ) was another star son born in 1996 .

of the first six foals produced by the great mare hasili , only one did not capture a group or grade i event . however , that one , dansili , may well turn out to be the most influential of all of his dam’s offspring , at least in the foreseeable future .
arguably , hasili could be the best broodmare in the world . dansili was her first foal , followed by his full - sister banks hill , who won the group one coronation stakes at royal ascot as well as the group one breeders ' cup filly and mare turf at belmont park .
winner of the listed nijinsky stakes for charles o’brien , laughing changed hands to richard santulli last summer . with two grade 1 victories to her credit this season , she seems very likely to be in the mix for american champion turf filly at the end of the year . while it is no secret that dansili fares particularly well with sadler’s wells line mares , laughing is a good example of how well he also works with those containing never bend blood , especially mill reef and his son shirley heights . laughing is out of the be my chief mare comic and thus inbred to danzig ( a pattern also seen in dansili ' s group 2 - winning son bated breath ) but her second dam , circus act , is a daughter of shirley heights , whose name also appears in the background of other dansili group 1 winners dank ( out of a mare by darshaan ) and flintshire .
dansili is also establishing himself as a sire of sires and as a broodmare sire . his son zoffany was champion first season sire in 2015 , while zacinto has produced the gr . 1 new zealand 2000 guineas winner in his first crop . the number of sons of dansili to sire stakes horses is into double figures . his daughters are also making their mark as broodmares and have been represented by over 50 blacktype performers to date , including 2017 group / graded stakes winners capla temptress , cascapedia , expert eye , glorious journey , ice breeze , nezwaah , postulation , son cesio and uni .
barely a week has gone by this season when dansili hasn’t been a prominent name . a tally of 19 stakes winners places the juddmonte stalwart behind only galileo ( on 28 ) but he holds the edge as far as group or grade 1 winners are concerned with an impressive six to his credit .
besides , dansili was undoubtedly of g1 calibre . highly tried by andre fabre during his 3 - year - old season in 1999 , he ran second to sendawar in the poule d’essai des pouliches , third to dubai millennium in the prix jacques les marois and third to sendawar in the prix du moulin .
dansili has been a remarkable all rounder during his lengthy stud career . with that in mind , it’s sad to think that his brother cacique was robbed of the chance to really make his presence felt due to fertility problems , especially as his few foals included g1 winners dominant , mutual trust and slumber .
the winner of a maiden at salisbury on 18 may , and then fifth to dutch art in the group two norfolk stakes at royal ascot on 22 june , strategic prince ( dansili ) showed himself to be a colt on the upgrade when winning the group two july stakes at newmarket on 13 july .
other than that , as a son of danehill , he promised to become an useful outcross for sadler’s wells - line mares and so it has proven : sadler’s wells himself is the damsire of 23 stakes winners by dansili led by flintshire , the fugue , passage of time , thomas chippendale and father time .
his progeny are also well suited by conditions in australia , where european imports foreteller and magog ( renamed grand marshal ) improved to reach g1 heights . in all , dansili has been represented by 11 stakes winners in australia , quite a figure considering the select group of runners who have made the trip down under .
danehill and sharpen up have also long enjoyed a fruitful partnership , and that has continued through dansili via the likes of strategic prince and the g1 - placed epic love , both of whom were out of diesis mares , g2 winner vancouverite ( selkirk ) and g3 winners dormello ( selkirk ) and silver touch ( sanglamore ) .
on reflection , dansili was thwarted in his bid to achieve champion status by some outstanding horses , most notably sendawar , kalanisi and giant ' s causeway , but he was never far behind the best of them and , with his pedigree , it ' s not surprising that he ' s emerging as a sire of note .
dansili’s grand prix de paris and arc winner rail link probably wasn’t helped by being a very big individual and he certainly wasn’t helped by his failure to race in 2007 , before his stud debut in 2008 . the size of his crops soon began to dwindle , to the extent that his first six crops averaged only 46 foals .
his dam , hasili ( kahyasi ) , won four races as a two - year - old , including a listed race at nantes in france , and now has the distinction of having produced four group or grade one winners from her first five foals , with dansili being the only one not to have been successful at this level .
it is with sadness that juddmonte farms announces that hasili , the dam of five group 1 winners and champion sire dansili , has died at banstead manor stud at the age of 27 . hasili , a daughter of derby winner kahyasi out of the high line mare kerali , was bred and raced by prince khalid abdullah before retiring [ … ]
one notable attribute to dansili’s stud career has been his versatility . he is capable of throwing good 2yos as strategic prince and , in later years , zoffany ( a member of that first £30 , 000 crop and winner of the g1 phoenix stakes ) , shaweel ( g2 gimcrack stakes ) and requinto ( g2 flying childers stakes ) have illustrated .
however , as is typical of a juddmonte stallion , dansili’s stud record features strong success with mares by a range of juddmonte sires , in particular distant view , who was the damsire of g1 winner emulous , the g1 - placed bated breath and zacinto as well as listed winners making eyes and daring diva from a pool of just 20 foals .
the stars of dansili’s last two crops have been zoffany and giofra from the 2008 crop and then the fugue and falen for you from the 2009 crop , however , the results are likely to get better still if there is a period when the ground in england , ireland and france is good or firm rather than soft . last weekend when the going was good or better in england , ireland and france , dansili had three stakes winners preferential and dance routine in france and the group winner dank at sandown . dansili’s progeny have always shown a marked preference for good ground and this year’s persistent rain will not have suited them . over his entire career 65 % of his three year old wins have come on good or firm ground and a further 25 % on the all weather . this year 43 % of his three year old wins have come on soft or heavy ground , because that is what they have been asked to race on , but several of his progeny are likely to step forward if they get a chance of racing on good ground .
however , dansili is also making his presence felt in the us , where he seems likely to end the year as the sire of a champion . laughing , bred by the dukes of roxburghe and devonshire , broke through at the highest level in july when holding on by a head from dream peace , also by dansili , in the diana stakes at saratoga . after returning to take the grade 2 ballston spa handicap over the same course and distance , she lined up in saturday’s flower bowl invitational stakes over 1m2f at belmont park and under an excellent front - running ride by jose lezcano , held off her fast - finishing stable companion , dylan thomas’s daughter tannery , to win by half - a - length .
the dam of leroidesanimaux is dissemble , an unraced ahonoora half - sister to ' blue hen ' hasili , whose brood includes dansili , banks hill , intercontinental , heat haze , cacique and champs elysees , all distinguished group 1 performers . dissemble herself produced another group 1 winner in uapybo , underlining this family ' s reputation as among the best of modern times .
a partnership of hill ‘n’ dale farms , s . f . bloodstock , china horse club and juddmonte farms has been formed to stand juddmonte’s superstar homebred flintshire . the globe - trotting , royally - bred son of leading sire dansili will stand at hill ‘n’ dale in kentucky upon his retirement after this year’s breeder’s cup turf race at santa anita where he [ … ]
dansili has stood his entire career in newmarket , but that hasn’t prevented him from gaining international traction . in november , queen’s trust became his second winner of the breeders’ cup filly & mare turf after dank , who won in 2013 . another daughter , laughing , also represented her sire to great effect in america , capturing the g1 diana and g1 flower bowl invitational .
juddmonte homebred grand jete was the impressive winner of saturday’s g3 eatontown stakes at monmouth park , rolling home with giant strides under joe bravo to score by about 1 1 / 2 lengths . the 4 - year - old daughter of dansili won her u . s . debut at keeneland last month , then scored again for trainer chad brown to earn her first [ … ]
a number of lesser horses have won g1 races and , according to racing post ratings , dansili was actually the best foal produced by juddmonte’s blue hen hasili . it’s quite a line - up , featuring five g1 winners in champion banks hill , cacique , champs elysees , intercontinental and heat haze . all were by danehill , bar heat haze ( by green desert ) .
these newcomers are following in the footsteps of several other stallion sons of dansili , including zoffany , the champion first - crop sire of 2015 . although zoffany spent his first three years at a fee no higher than €7 , 500 , he has been represented by an impressive total of six first - crop group winners , including the german 2 , 000 guineas winner knife edge .
cacique , a dual grade 1 winner and full brother to stallions dansili and champs elysees , has been retired from stud duty by juddmonte farm . the 15 - year - old son of danehill dealt with subfertility throughout his stud career , and as a result , had limited books of mares and small crops of foals . in spite of that , cacique sired several talented runners [ … ]
dansili’s first year fee of £8 , 000 in 2001 is reflective of a thoroughly respectable race record that didn’t contain that coveted g1 . such an omission understandably knocks the attraction of a colt when he retires to stud , but then racing history is littered with successful stallions that never got their head in front at the top level ; look no further than war front , kodiac and acclamation .
despite having started his stud career at a fee of £8 , 000 dansili is now one of the most successful british - based sires in the history of the european pattern . he can boast career figures of 12 % stakes winners to runners ( lifetime ) – and 12 % blacktype performers to foals born . he is one of the top four active european sires by lifetime group winners .
dansili has been one of those elite stallions who has served breeders well at all levels , ranging from his days at £8 , 000 to those many seasons north of £50 , 000 . he has been a real stalwart of british breeding yet regularly assumes a prominent position on the international stage , particularly in australia and america , where he continues to enjoy success through a select group of representatives .
for one reason or another , dansili’s progeny boast a particularly fine record at royal ascot . of his 66 group winners , eight landed a group race at the meeting , among them the fugue , whose sparkling turn of foot lowered the colours of magician and treve in the 2014 g1 prince of wales’s stakes , 2012 g1 coronation stakes heroine fallen for you and 2013 g2 ribblesdale stakes winner riposte .
although it remains to be seen whether , like barathea , dansili ' s produce will be capable of getting a mile and a half , the stoutness of his strategic prince ' s damline suggests that he could be in the line - up , if all goes according to plan , to assume the mantle of sir percy in 2007 . he ' s a horse to watch with keen interest .
nor is the story over . as dansili prepares for his 17th season in service , he continues to operate at a nine percent stakes winners to foals of racing age strike - rate . in addition , waiting in the wings are youngsters out of the likes of beauty parlour , galikova , silasol , solemia and elusive kate as well as the full or half - siblings to passage of time and taghrooda .
in 2006 danehill’s nearest pursuer for the title of champion sire in britain and ireland was danehill dancer and danehill dancer defeated sea the stars’ sire cape cross to take the anglo - irish sires’ championship in 2009 . as dansili landed the title of champion sire in france in 2006 , danehill has now been represented by at least one champion sire son in each of the three countries where he was champion sire .
bred in england by the ausherra partnership , which is named after strategic prince ' s dam , ausherra ( diesis ) , the colt clearly relished the sixth furlong of the july stakes given that his sire , dansili ( danehill ) , was one of the top milers of his generation and that his dam was effective over a mile and a half and has produced the useful stayer yorkshire ( generous ) .
although he gained his first success on heavy ground , his subsequent career suggested strongly that his record would have been even more impressive had he been able to compete only when the ground was good or faster . dansili was capable of producing exceptional acceleration - the hallmark of most top - class performers - when ground conditions were in his favour , as he showed when he ran so well against giant’s causeway in the sussex stakes . the fastest conditions he encountered were at churchill downs , when he produced a sensational stretch run to all but win the breeders’ cup mile , having been 13th of 14 with only a quarter of a mile left to run . the ground was also on the fast side when dansili quickened at least three lengths clear of the remainder in finishing second of 15 in the poule d’essai des poulains .
the son of dansili has now won one group 2 , 12 group 3s and six listed races and i remain convinced that he would also have won the gr . 1 prix du jockey - club in 2008 but for being drawn 17 in a 20 - horse field , which forced him to race wide . he still did very well to close to within a head of the high - class vision d’etat .
using the key ancestors report with analysis throws up some interesting pedigree considerations for the fugue as well as focusing the selection of possible mates for her in europe and north america . the mathematics and logic behind the key ancestors report works a little differently to the standard truenicks report and rating in that it looks at the entire pedigree of the subject mare and uses the coefficient of relatedness to gather a group of
like - bred
mares . some of the closely related mares to the fugue include canterbury lace ( by dansili ' s sire , danehill , out of a sadler ' s wells mare ; 21 . 68 % related to the fugue ) and don ' t tell mum ( by dansili and carries nureyev , a three - quarter relative to sadler ' s wells ; 28 . 42 % related to the fugue ) .
again , juddmonte have also been influential in promoting the horse to an american audience . plenty of their high - profile ex - european runners have flourished over the years for bobby frankel and latterly bill mott and chad brown , and , given that dansili’s progeny invariably enjoy fast conditions , it’s understandable that several , such as flintshire , price tag , proviso and aviate , have fared well in the u . s .
as flintshire quickened away to take the grade 1 sword dancer stakes for a second time , having trailed by more than 13 lengths , the son of dansili once again prompted a string of superlatives . flintshire’s new trainer chad brown – admittedly a biased observer – said : “he’s the greatest horse i’ve ever seen , ” while winning rider javier castellano said : “i’ve never seen any horse with that much acceleration on the grass . ”
the same became true of dansili . juddmonte bred eight of his first ten pattern winners , including two of his first real stars , price tag and rail link . a member of his second crop , rail link progressed rapidly for fabre in 2006 , sweeping from a saint - cloud maiden win in late may to victory in the g1 grand prix de paris and then the arc , in which he beat deep impact and hurricane run .
as a four - year - old , dansili captured the group three prix edmond blanc , before easily winning the group two prix de muguet at saint cloud . in june of 2000 , he was beaten only half a length by kalanisi ( doyoun ) in the then group two queen anne stakes at royal ascot , before running the indefatigable giant ' s causeway ( storm cat ) to three quarters of a length in the group one sussex stakes at glorious goodwood .
former juddmonte colour - bearer foreteller , a 100 , 000gns tattersalls horses in training graduate , got the ball rolling in australia back in march when taking the ranvet stakes at rosehill . in europe , his runners are headed by lady lloyd - webber’s homebred the fugue , winner of the yorkshire oaks and irish champion stakes , while his current crop of three - year - olds include flintshire and winsili , successful in the grand prix de paris and nassau stakes respectively for khaled abdullah . group - winning three - year - olds riposte , remote , vancouverite and zibelina have also contributed to an excellent season in europe . and there seems much to look forward to once again with his two - year - olds , which include last week’s oh so sharp stakes winner miss france . she was one of two stakes winners on friday’s newmarket card for dansili , alongside listed godolphin winner renew , one of 17 stakes horses bred on the dansili - sadler’s wells cross .
it is a measure of dansili ’s quality that this juddmonte homebred was asked by andré fabre to contest 12 consecutive group races after he had won his first two starts in impressive style . equally , it is a measure of his class and consistency that this brother to the champion fillies banks hill and intercontinental managed to reach the first four in all but one of them , recording three group successes , four seconds ( three at group 1 level ) and three group 1 thirds .
dansili has covered outstanding books of mares in recent seasons – and his two - year - olds for 2018 include progeny out of gr . 1 winners beauty parlour , blue bunting , crystal music , great heavens , igugu , latice , mahbooba , nahrain , rumya , solemia , spinning queen , sultanina and thistle bird and full / half - siblings to the gr . 1 winners authorized , enable , harzand , hunter’s light , indonesienne , left hand , polarisation , solow , speedy boarding and we are .
hasili has an extraordinary record , which has been rewarded with broodmare of the year honours in the usa and in britain . her first six foals – all by sons of danzig – were all good enough to compete in the white - hot competition of breeders’ cup day . the first , dansili , produced a stretch run which took him from tenth to third in the 2000 mile and he would surely have won with a clearer run . the second , banks hill , secured her eclipse award with her impressive victory in the 2001 filly & mare turf , before finishing second in the same race the following year . it was heat haze’s turn to contest the filly & mare turf in 2003 but the distance tested her stamina to its limit and she finished fourth . intercontinental had no such problems in the 2005 race , holding off ouija board in such good style that she too earned the eclipse award for turf female . heat haze had finished second in the voting for the same award two years earlier . then cacique contested the 2006 turf , only to find the mile - and - a - half distance beyond him , and champs elysees was beaten little more than five lengths in the 2008 classic . hasili’s record in the breeders’ cup was further boosted in 2013 when her grandaughter , banks hill’s gr . 1 - winning daughter romantica , was second in the breeders ' cup filly & mare turf , a race incidentally won by dansili ' s daughter dank . dansili was to sire another breeders’ cup winner in 2016 when queen’s trust also won the breeders ' cup filly & mare turf .
dandino , making his 20th start , showed admirable determination in landing the gr . 3 september stakes . then bated breath turned in another respectable group 1 effort to take third in the betfred sprint cup . finally emulous failed narrowly to repeat her victory in the gr . 1 matron stakes . these three rank among dansili ’s total of a dozen 2012 group / graded winners - a total which ranks him a clear third in this respect among the northern hemisphere stallions , behind galileo and deep impact . he ranks second behind galileo in terms of blacktype winners .
that said , his story is by no means one dominated by mature performers . dansili is well capable of siring quality juveniles , too , as famous name’s sister big break underlined on saturday , when she earned “tdn rising star” status with a very eye - catching victory . juddmonte has two other talented juvenile winners by him in ashdan and winsili , while other owners have the very promising irish colt nevis , the group - placed french filly sara lucille and the once - raced winner love magic ( described as “a lovely prospect” by the racing post after her debut ) .
it was a mating with kahyasi ( average winning distance 12 . 7 furlongs ) which resulted in dansili ' s dam hasili . once again the family’s speed proved dominant . forward enough to race eight times at two , hasili won over five furlongs , six furlongs and twice over a mile , notably winning the prix des sablonnets , a listed race . her speed and toughness were again evident at three , when she was second in listed races over seven furlongs and a mile , notably running the gr . 1 winner coup de genie to two lengths in the prix imprudence .
danehill was also six times champion sire of two - year - olds , as well as champion sire in france on two occasions , and he also headed the australian table eight times in a 10 - year period . he sired champions in every sphere , ranging from champion two - year - olds and sprinters to classic winners and stayers , and now has an enviable record as a sire of sires . the number of sons of danehill which have sired a gr . 1 winner stands well over twenty , and dansili can lay claim to be the best of them in europe .
of course , i’m not exactly unbiased here . as a member of the juddmonte team , it was my responsibility to make the initial suggestion that his dam , fame at last , should visit dansili in 2004 . the reasoning behind this suggestion was that fame at last is a lengthy , low - to - the - ground mare who stands little more than 15 . 2 hands . by the fall of 2003 , we had only two foals by which to judge her . her first foal , by the 16 . 3 - hands zafonic , was small and lengthy and her second , by lomitas , was also small .
dansili’s grand prix de paris winner zambezi sun’s first crop were two last season but have not yet produced a black type horse . however , they should improve at three , and it is too early to judge zambezi sun . rock of gibraltar , a horse who holds strong claims to being danehill’s greatest son on the track , has been a consistently successful sire at stud . unfortunately , one of his best sons , eagle mountain , was infertile ( something not uncommon to the danzig male line ) , but “the rock” does have the very promising mount nelson to his credit , as well as south africa’s fashionable sire , seventh rock .
flintshire’s appeal as a potential stallion also reflects the bright start made by some of dansili’s other sons . several are being represented by their first runners during 2016 . by the time this appears in print their statistics will have been overtaken , but at the time of writing bated breath has been represented by two group - placed fillies ; famous name , from a crop of around 50 sired at only €4 , 000 , has sired the impressive listed winner escobar ; and requinto , another with a comparatively small crop sired at a modest fee , is responsible for broken stones , third in the group 2 july stakes in between wins on his first and third starts .
harbinger ( truenicks a + + ) is out of the black type winning bering mare penang pearl . she is out of guapa , who is by shareef dancer , out of the group winning sauceboat ( by connaught , runner - up in sir ivor ’s derby , out of the smart crepello filly , cranberry sauce , from what might be called an “old - fashioned” english family ) . harbinger is the first stakes winner by dansili out of a bering mare , but there are seven stakes winners by danehill and his sons , out of mares by bering , and two more out of mares by his sire arctic tern and a son . as a point of interest that danehill is inbred to northern dancer ’s dam , natalma , while arctic tern is out of a half sister to natalma ( giving three crosses of that mare’s dam , almahmoud ) .
hasili’s first six foals had all run well at the highest level in europe , with dansili and banks hill respectively finishing second in the french 2000 guineas and 1000 guineas , while intercontinental finished third in a vintage 1000 guineas in england in 2003 . although a mile stretched intercontinental’s stamina under european conditions , she eventually harnessed her energies better under bobby frankel’s tuition and she duly became her dam’s third consecutive gr . 1 winner in the matriarch stakes – a race won by the turbo - charged heat haze in 2003 . hasili’s fifth foal , cacique , won at gr . 3 and gr . 2 levels in europe and it was by only half a length that he failed to beat the future arc winner bago in the grand prix de paris . cacique also proved very well suited by the fast conditions on america’s turf courses as a five - year - old , winning two gr . 1 races – the man o’war stakes and manhattan handicap – and finishing second in three others . champs elysees , hasili’s final foal by danehill , became her sixth group winner from six foals when he landed the prix d’hedouville and he proceeded to become a triple g1 winner in canada and the usa , notably taking the canadian international .
famous name was a throwback to another era . a tough , sound , genuine performer who delivered at group level for dermot weld over six seasons , he won 21 of 38 starts and retired as the winner of over €1 . 5 million in earnings . forward enough to run second in the killavullan stakes at two , he was a classic performer at three when beaten only a head in the prix du jockey club and in later years racked up a series of group race victories to become one of the most popular campaigners of recent times . in fact , he won no fewer than 13 group races from ages three to seven , and was group 1 - placed on seven occasions , including when second in the prix du moulin and two runnings of the tattersalls gold cup . a mile or ten furlongs came equally alike to him , while victories were recorded on grounds ranging from good to firm to heavy . juddmonte - bred top to bottom , famous name is by dansili , whose sons at stud have already provided group 1 performers such as la collina and top notch tonto , and he hails from the family of iconic australian mare makybe diva . his first foals are on the ground and include the progeny of group 3 - winning sprinter and producer agnetha , as well as grade 2 heroine katdogawn .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
sacc . 2005 and updates . a classification of the bird species of south america . available at : urltoken .
justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size may be moderately small to large , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
partners in flight estimated the population to number < 50 , 000 individuals ( a . panjabi in litt . 2008 ) . trend justification : this species is suspected to lose 15 . 8 - 20 . 4 % of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations ( 23 years ) based on a model of amazonian deforestation ( soares - filho et al . 2006 , bird et al . 2011 ) . it is therefore suspected to decline by < 25 % over three generations .

distribution : neotropical . locally from eastern mexico ( tamaulipas ) south through tropical lowlands of central america west of the andes to western ecuador and east of the andes through venezuela and the guianas through the amazon basin to bolivia ( beni , santa cruz ) , northeastern argentina and paraguay ; trinidad . more . . . .
movements : probably non - migratory in much of its extensive range ( short 1975 , chesser 1994 ) , but there is some evidence that it is a partial austral migrant in at least formosa and chaco provinces and perhaps in other parts of argentina ( contreras et al . 1990 , di giacomo 2005 ) .
conservation : generally uncommon , but not necessarily rare , throughout most of its extensive range . more abundant in the amazonian portion of its range than in middle america or west of the andes . populations are probably declining in some areas as a result of deforestation . categorized as a species of least concern by birdlife international . more . . . .

until recently , surprisingly little has been known about the biology and behavior of tropical forest raptors , including such basic aspects as diets , breeding biology , habitat requirements , and population ecology , information critical to the development of conservation efforts . the peregrine fund conducted a significant eight - year - long research program on the raptor species , including owls , in tikal national park in guatemala to learn more about neotropical birds of prey . impressive and unprecedented in scale , this pioneering research also involved the development of new methods for detecting , enumerating , and studying these magnificent but often elusive birds in their forest home . beautifully illustrated with photographs of previously little - known species , the resulting book is the most important single source for information on the lowland tropical forest raptor species found in central america .

the in - depth accounts compare favorably to those in the knowledge of tropical raptors . . . . the book is well referenced , and each chapter is illustrated with tables / figures . an important resource for ornithologists and tropical raptor researchers . summing up : highly recommended .
—
is a handsome tribute to an ambitious project . not least , the book captures the dedication required to squeeze a decent set of data out of any suite of raptors—a notoriously difficult group to study—much less those of the remote , dense , and humid tikal forest , with its heavily armed plants , aggressive insects , and venomous snakes .
—penny olson ,
i was not sure what to expect when i first saw the title of this book , but it quickly became clear that it is a remarkable , indeed exceptional , publication ; well produced certainly , but valuable above all because of the enormous contribution to our knowledge of neotropical raptors that it represents . . . . to sum up , this is a most impressive volume that documents the efforts of the many people who studied this raptor community and who have greatly advanced our knowledge of neotropical raptors . it is a fitting tribute to these magnificent birds and the dedicated researchers involved in the maya project .
