Lot 1952 (June 4) is a colt by Dane Shadow out of the 7 time winning Beautiful Crown mare Beautiful Romance.

In 2014/15, Dane Shadow has sired 5 new Stakes performers and hardly a day goes by without Dane Shadow having a winner somewhere in Australia across a range of ages and distances. Beautiful Crown mares also boast some very impressive stats, with the now deceased sire building an impressive record as a broodmare sire.
