Australia's champion sire (the now deceased) Danehill continues to rack up the winners, siring a Group double in Europe yesterday including the Coolmore-owned 2yo colt - George Washington - who blitzed his rivals by 8 lengths in the G1 Independent Waterford Wedgwood Phoenix Stakes (that would be a nice trophy me thinks!) over 6 furlongs at the Curragh. The colt has had just four starts and won his last three; and for the pedigree buffs he is also a half-brother to Grandera (Grand Lodge) whose six wins include 3 at G1 level: the Irish Champion Stakes, Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Singapore Airlines International Cup. George Washington cost 1.15 million guineas at Tattersalls last October and in a sign of support to those who gamble at the top end of the market, was the only seven figure yearling sold in Europe last year. He has also helped to make life in the Tattersalls marketing department an extremely enjoyable experience as he is the fifth Tattersalls saletopper to win at Group/Listed level in 2005, following the Group 2 and 3 wins by Imperial Stride and All Too Beautiful respectively and the Listed wins by the Classic placed filly Mona Lisa and the world record breaking filly My Typhoon.
