GARRYRICHARD Stud recently announced the addition of Grade 1 winner Hillstar to their roster for 2016, a son of Danehill Dancer (by Danehill) who comes from a top blacktype family. Three years ago they had another regally-related Danehill Dancer horse on the team, the Group 2 scorer Jeremy who moved to Co Wexford after spending five years at the Irish National Stud.

His career as a dual-purpose stallion was just beginning to take off when, in 2014, the white-faced bay died, aged just 11, and as happens all too often, his profile has risen even higher since then.
