Another Group winner to Danewin

OCTOBER, 2007: Rarely a carnival takes place anywhere in Australia without a son or daughter of Danewin featuring in Group company and this talented breed was again to the fore in the Group 3 MRC David Jones Cup at Caulfield.

A 2000-metre event contested on the Caulfield Cup undercard, the prestigious Pattern Race event witnessed a determined staying performance by Fire in The Night (4g, Danewin-Duchesse De Berri, by Diesis) to score by a short-head in a slogging finish.

Trained by Grey Eurell at Cranbourne, Fire In The Night was recording back-to-back victories and now boasts the record of five wins and three placings for earnings of just over $250,000.

A happy winning trainer said immediately after the win: “I’m very happy with that. There’s probably a few options for him now, so we’ll have to look deeper into the book. Today was a little bit of a test to where he’s at but he’s come through it well.”

Fire In The Night is one of three winners sired by Danewin from three daughters of Diesis. In addition, Danewin sired the stakes-placed nine-time winner Bushra Gem from a daughter of Kris, a full-borther to Diesis.

As a further illustration of this successful line of breeding, Ashraf, the Emirates Park-bred winner of the 2007 Grafton Cuo (LR) is a son of Danehill from the imported Diesis mare Dis La (USA).
