$1.4Million Filly Goes Three for Three

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 20

Bryce Heys won’t be rushed with talented I Am Invincible filly Dancing Alone, who resumed from a lengthy spell to score an easy win at Kembla on Thursday.

Dancing Alone kicked off her career with a debut win at Canberra in January before following up to win at Kembla in February and has been off the scene since then.

Tuned up with a couple of recent trials she made light work of the Benchmark 64 event over 1000m to forge clear and win by more than two lengths for Alysha Collett as a red hot favourite.

Dancing Alone was purchased by Heys’s Ellerslie Lodge for $1.4million at the 2021 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale from the Vinery Stud draft and races in the colours of Michael O’Keefe and Veronica King.

Dancing Alone was a $1.4million Inglis Easter purchase.

She is the first foal of Group II placed Snitzel mare Miles Of Krishan, a half-sister to the Champion NZ 2YO Il Quello Velove.

It’s the family of Group I winning sprinters Terravista and Tiger Tees as well as Group II winning $1.8million earner Ball Of Muscle and Singapore Horse of the Year Super Easy.

The second foal from Miles Of Krishan is a Zoustar colt that sold for $700,000 at Inglis Easter this year to Yulong and has been fittingly named Growing Empire.

Miles of Krishan has a filly to follow by I Am Invincible and is now in foal to Zoustar.
