The 18-year-old son of Mozart has supplied 21 stakes winners in total, headed by La Pelosa, Peniaphobia and River Boyne at the highest level.

Dandy Man’s supporters are also tasting significant success in the sales ring, with Dandalla – originally a €15,500 foal and €22,000 yearling purchase – sold to Katsumi Yoshida for 750,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mares’ Sale and his yearlings of 2021 selling for up to €290,000.

Not bad figures for a stallion who is scheduled to stand his 13th consecutive season at Ballyhane in 2022 at a fee of €15,000.
