BALLYHANE Stud’s Dandy Man (Mozart) keeps making news, his growing list of stakes winners now includes the Group 3 Al Basti Equiworld Mercury Stakes winner Dr Simpson. This Debbiella Camacho-bred juvenile could now line up at the Breeders’ Cup in Santa Anita, and what a story that would be were she to win for owner Russell Jones and trainer Tom Dascombe.

Sold through The Castlebridge Consignment for just 7,000gns as a foal, she reappeared at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale last year and cost SackvilleDonald £24,000. She has repaid that investment almost three times over, while her value has also soared. She is the only winner to date for her Singspiel (In The Wings) dam New Romantic and her yearling half-brother by Intello (Galileo) was sold for 75,000gns in Book 3 of the Tattersalls October Sale, having been purchased for 5,000gns as a foal.
