South African Winner for Dawn Approach

Tara Madgwick - Sunday July 15
Returning to Darley in the Hunter Valley this spring, Dawn Approach (IRE) sired an impressive winner in south African on Saturday with Shadwell homebred Alyaasaat scoring a dominant victory at Turffontein.
Dawn Approach
Having his second start in the 1400 metre maiden, the Mike de Kock trained two year-old colt was a short priced favourite and romped in to win by nearly five lengths.

Foaled and raised at Yarraman Park for Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell, Alyaasaat is the sixth winner from Yaasah (IRE), a half-sister by Distant View to stakes-winner Chercheuse, the dam of Champion US 3YO Filly Questing.

From his first Australian crop of two year-olds, Dawn Approach is the sire of Group II placed Gongs as well as smart winners Condemned and Tahitian Dancer.

A grand-son of Galileo, Dawn Approach stands at a fee of $19,250 this spring.
