The best runner so far in Australia by DYLAN THOMAS is the sprinter NOT LISTENIN'TOME - a 3yo gelding who sprinted away from the opposition winning the Gr 3 Zeditave Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield by 4 lengths.
DYLAN THOMAS was named England’s Cartier Horse of the Year and ranked World Champion Older Middle Distance Horse.
DYLAN THOMAS and DANEHILL DANCER were very different distance horses on the racetrack but both are by Danehill and both from mares who are either a daughter or grandaughter of Sharpen Up.
My query is this - on pedigree it appears to me that DYLAN THOMAS was indeed bred to be a sprinter himself! My memory is scant but wasn't either his dam or sister a flying machine? No doubt someone up there N.H. will validate or correct me!
