Win, lose or draw in this weekend's Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m), exciting filly Danzdanzdance has already achieved more at this stage of her career than Cambridge part-owner Kylie Bax dreamed of.
"She's exceeded the expectations of myself and the other owners," the international supermodel turned breeder and syndicator
said.
"For such a cheap filly, and cheap doesn't reflect her pedigree, to do what she has already done is amazing and it's only the beginning."
Trained by Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs at Ruakaka, the $5000 Karaka yearling has won once from four appearances and her last-start second in the Group 2 Avondale Guineas (2100m) has her a $5 co-favourite with Scott Base for Saturday's Vodafone-sponsored classic at Ellerslie.
"It's too far to go to Trentham for the Oaks and Donna has had a bit of luck with fillies in the Derby," Bax said.
