Hidden Dragon

Hidden Dragon was a smart racehorse with a pedigree that suggested he was always going to be even better as a Sire. Being by the Champion Danehill, from the triple Group 1 winning mare Ballroom Babe, he has plenty going for him on both sides of his page.

Danehill needs no introduction. Ballroom Babe is the dam of ten foals, six to race, all being winners and not only has produced Hidden Dragon but the Group 2 winning Just Dancing and Group 3 winner Tahni Girl.

Lyndhurst Stud Principal, Jeff Kruger is not surprised that Hidden Dragon has claimed this award given his first book attracted an impressive 158 mares.
