​
It's not often that a genuine cups prospect comes around for syndication. On offer is this three-time winning gelding from Great Britain by the late internationally successful British stallion DANSILI. Valley Forge (GB) has won 3 races in the UK, ranging between 2400m and 3200m.
This tried horse has all the ingredients necessary to be a genuine cups prospect for 2023. By the British Stallion DANSILI, this gelding is looking to have similar success to other Australia-raced Dansili progeny such as FORETELLER, GRAND MARSHAL and DANDINO, who are all Group race winners and cup winners. Foreteller and Grand Marshal have both taken out G1 wins on Australian turf.
Leading trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr will train this horse from their young and already multiple Group 1 winning, brand new, state of the art stables in Cranbourne. The stable is absolutely flying, and this gelding will have no better chance at his career on the track then with them.
