Strategic Prince proved himself one of the fastest and most precocious sons of Dansili, a stallion who has rapidly established himself as one of England’s best.

Dansili has done well with RAINBOW QUEST, siring the very promising Gr.3 winner Sense of Joy and the Listed winner Quenched. The very promising Proviso has a RAINBOW QUEST mare as her second dam. Rainbow Quest’s sire BLUSHING GROOM sired the second dam of the Gr.1 winner Passage of Time. This ties in with the fact that Danehill sired Gr.1 winners from daughters of BLUSHING GROOM and RAINBOW QUEST.

All the evidence is that Strategic Prince will also suit the SADLER’S WELLS line. Dansili’s foals out of SADLER’S WELLS mares include the Gr.1 winner Passage of Time and the first-time 2-y-o winner Porgy. Although Dansili has NIJINSKY blood, he is suited by a second line, which appears in such winners as Cantabria, Dansant, Early March, High Heel Sneakers and Sense of Joy. He also sired very useful performers from mares by STORM BIRD, TOPSIDER and NIGHT SHIFT. Mares by sons of NUREYEV suit Dansili well, as he sired the Arc winner Rail Link from a THEATRICAL mare and the Graded-placed Codeword from a SPINNING WORLD mare.

The MR. PROSPECTOR line will also work, as Dansili has sired the very promising Proviso from a daughter of WOODMAN and the Gr.1 winner Zambezi Sun from a daughter of ZAFONIC. Dansili also has black-type earners out of daughters of DISTANT VIEW, MUJTAHID and MISWAKI TERN. Dansili sired the Gr.1 winner Price Tag from a mare by AFFIRMED, another member of the RAISE A NATIVE male line.

Although Strategic Prince is out of a DIESIS mare, this doesn’t preclude other SHARPEN UP line mares, as Danehill Dancer’s career has shown. Dansili has Group horses out of daughters of SANGLAMORE and SELKIRK.

The AHONOORA line traditionally does well with Danehill and his sons and Dansili has two of his faster performers out of mares by INDIAN RIDGE and STATOBLEST.

Dansili’s Gr.3 winner Early March has an IRISH RIVER mare as his dam, and Rail Link has a RIVERMAN mare as his second dam.

ALLEGED and his son LAW SOCIETY have a solid record with Danehill and Price Tag has an Alleged mare as her second dam.
