Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas

Bay 2003 16.2 hh (1.68 m)
Danehill - Lagrion
Distances won over: 7f. to 12f.

A 6-time Group One winner and the best horse Kieren Fallon ever rode. He's bred on a similar Danehill/Sharpen Up cross as exceptional sire Danehill Dancer. Probably the best horse ever by sire of sires Danehill. And he's a half-brother to the brilliant European Champion 2yo filly Queen's Logic.

"Dylan Thomas became the first horse in 35 years of records to run every month from April to September and then win an Arc. That is but part testament to his abilities." Alastair Down, Racing Post, 8th October 2007.

Fee for 2008: $44,000
