DANBIRD was sold as a yearling for $1.1 million in 2002 and is an international quality horse. DANBIRD is a Blue-blood son of the legendary DANEHILL who has proven himself on the track, living up to his good looks, running a mighty long neck second behind Group 1 winner REGIMENTAL GAL in the $1 million Magic Millions 2yo Classic before going on to win the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes. DANBIRD was multiple group placed at 3, including a terrific second to EXCEED AND EXCELL in the Up And Coming, and duel stakes victories at four. He raced in Group 1 company with the cream of the crop.
