New Stakes-Winner for Dawn Approach

Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 17
Darley shuttler Dawn Approach (IRE) had a good Saturday in two hemispheres with a stylish winner at Moonee Valley in Tahitian Dancer and also a new stakes-winner at Sandown in the UK when Haddaf captured the Listed Scurry Stakes.

Dawn ApproachTrained by James Tate, Haddaf scored a three-quarter length win in the five furlong sprint and has now three of his four starts this year after being gelded at the end of his two year-old season which produced a win and a couple of stakes-placings from eight starts.

An 85,000 guinea purchase from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Haddaf is a half-brother to stakes-winner Lamar and is one of six winners from stakes-placed Cozzene mare Deveron.

Haddaf is the third stakes-winner for Dawn Approach, whose best Australian offspring so far is Godolphin's stakes-placed filly Gongs.

A champion son of Galileo's Epsom Derby winner New Approach, Dawn Approach stands at Darley Hunter Valley this spring at a fee of $19,250.
