Originally standing in Ireland, his instant success in Australia with his first crop racing in 1993/94 created confidence in the shuttle stallion concept, revolutionising local thoroughbred breeding. Danehill sired more than 80 individual Group 1 winners worldwide. He became renowned as a sire of sires, with Exceed and Excel, Flying Spur, Redoute’s Choice and Fastnet Rock all being crowned Champion Australian Sire.
