Featured in a recent Breednet story, former classy stayer and now promising sire Dandino (GB) posted his fifth winner at Cranbourne on Wednesday.
Trained by Michael Trotter, three year-old gelding Barrington Manor raced on the pace and was tenacious to the line in winning the 2025m maiden by a short half head at his sixth start.
Fourth and fifth at his first two runs back from a spell, Barrington Manor was fit and ready to fire with more wins in store.
Barrington Manor runs for a big group of owners including his breeder Sharon Money and is the first winner from Xaar Best, a metro winning daughter of stakes-placed Tiffany’s Best.
Xaar Best was covered again by Dandino last spring.
An elite performer by champion sire Dansili, Dandino had 37 starts and won or placed in 18 Group/Stakes races racing in seven countries, a glowing testament to his attitude and adaptability, which are highly desirable traits he is passing onto his progeny.
Dandino stands at Bombora Downs at a fee of $5,500 and for those breeders seeking to produce a stayer of the future he represents great quality and value.
