Danedream Ambushes Arc Rivals

DANEDREAM, supplemented at a a cost of €100,000 earlier this week, blew her rivals out of the water, becoming the first winner of the Arc from Germany since Star Appeal in 1975.

Japanese breeder Teruya Yoshida bought a half share in the filly two days ago from Gestut Burg Eberstein, who purchased her for €9,000 as a yearling, and Danedream more than repaid her owners' faith by landing the £1,970,344.83 first prize.

With pacemaker Shareta and Snow Fairy following the 20-1 shot home, fillies filled the first three places with So You Think the best placed colt in fourth.
