Shady Stream to Dane Shadow

Dane Shadow’s stocks on and off the racetrack continue to rise.

Kitchwin Hills has announced that Dane Shadow will cover the Broodmare of the Year, Shady Stream, in the next few days. Shady Stream is best known as the dam of the champion sprinter Takeover Target (by Celtic Swing)  and the rising star Group 2 winner Predatory Pricer (by Street Cry).

Shady Stream’s last foal is now two, and named Wilful Default, by Dubawi, who won a trial for trainer Paul Murray (who also trains Predatory Pricer) at Kembla Grange last Wednesday. Wilful Default cost Murray’s owners $420,000 at the 2009 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Shady Stream, now 15, has missed in the last two coverings by Exceed And Excel (2007) and Street Sense (2008). The mare is by Archregent (CAN) from Merry Shady, by Spectacular Spy (USA).

Dane Shadow stands at Kitchwin Hills for a fee of $16,500 (inc. GST). He is fully booked for 2009.
