Dynamic Syndications have add yet another Black Type result to our already fat resume of proven success at selecting yearlings capable of Stakes Race Success when on Saturday at Royal Randwick, the Gerald Ryan trained impressive 2yo Bay Colt DANCES ON STARS (SNITZEL /STARNET) scored a gutsy and determined win in the $125,000 Group 3 Matrium Financial Services KINDERGARTEN STAKES 1100m.
Ridden beautifully by in form rider Glyn Scofield, the colt jumped well from barrier 1 and pushed forward along the rail to prevent the field crossing over and therefore shuffling the colt back along the fence. After they had travelled 100m the race panned out better than anticipated when the $1.65 favourite Ichihara (which had been slowly away) was unable to push forward and was being held up behind the pace.
As they field swung for home they were racing compact and tight. Corey Brown was on the favourite and looking for a way out of a pocket. Glyn rolled DANCES ON STARS off the fence inviting Corey to take the run and then rolled back and closed the gap causing the favourite to change direction. When that occurred, Glyn asked DANCES OF STARS to extend and the colt responded, digging deep when being challenged by the runner-up Agueda. Fighting hard he re-established his dominance to score a Short Neck Win in a slick 1:03.87 just outside WANTED'S race record, running the last 600m in 34.87.
Congratulations go to the Dynamic Team of Owners who race the colt : Brian Mullins, Donna Keegan, & Mr & Mrs Glenister. They have had several good horses in the past including AJC Villiers winner Dances On Waves.
Dances On Stars - Purchased by Dynamic Syndications for
$95,000 at NZ Bloodstock Sales 2010
The colt was purchased by Adam Watt on behalf of Dynamic Syndications at the 2011 NZ Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale (Lot 77) for $95,000 NZD from Highview Stud. Adam was in NZ representing Team Dynamic for that sale and after inspecting our selected lots and doing our due diligence investigations, it was decided this was a must have colt.
Bred on the Redoute's Choice / Last Tycoon cross which was a A+++ Quality 8/10 Pedigree Rating Score, we believed the colt to be something special both genetically and on type.
This cross has produced 9 stakes winners to date including 2 x Gr1, 2 x Gr2 and 2 x Gr3 winners. In fact, on Saturday, not only did DANCES ON STARS win a Gr3 but also bred on the identical cross was David Payne's Gr1 TJ Smith winner MASTER OF DESIGN.
Our colt was advertised for sale on TVN and appeared on our website for purchase at $14,250 per share. During this selling period the horse commenced training and within a few days Gerald Ryan suggested to his client Brian Mullins that he buy 100% of our colt and race it with his close mate rather than taking a smaller share percentage with owners he did not know.
Adam and Gerald negotiated the sale of all the 10 shares (100% equity) and also the agreement to race the colt in Brian's own Registered Racing Colours of Red with Silver Stars rather than our Dynamic Syndications Colours. We were happy to assist with this arrangement.
Team Dynamic were on hand at Royal Randwick with Gerald and Managing owners Brian & Donna to enjoy the day and cheer home their promising 2yo. The champagne tasted sweet in the winners room.
Gerald is considering a Queensland Winter programme for the now very valuable colt who has a pedigree capable to be a future stallion prospect should his good form continue. Races such as the Ken Russell Memorial and the Qld Sires Produce are being considered in the short term.
We also acknowledge the work of the stable employees and none more so than Gerald Ryan's son Blake who has been doing hours of trackwork on the horse to have him in perfect order for his first up run. At his first preparation the colt showed plenty of talent but mentally and physically he was not ready. This time in he is a different horse and as he matures he will continue to improve.
