Northern Hemisphere Milestone for Divine Prophet

Mark Smith - Sunday September 12

Aquis Farm's Divine Prophet has been on a roll of late, and he chalked up a notable first winner in the northern hemisphere on Saturday when the Richard Fahey-trained 2yo Scarlet Dancer opened his account over 6-furlongs at Chester.

Ridden by Paul Hanagan, Scarlet Dancer finished strongly to defeat the profitable filly Notable by a half-length with El Kabeir colt Lordman a further four and three-quarter lengths back in third.

Pinhooked by Ballinvana House Stud for €7,000 from the Tara Stud draft at the 2019 Goffs November Foal Sale, Scarlet Dancer made £65,000 to the bid of Robin O'Ryan at the 2021 Goffs Breeze Up Sale.

He is the first foal of the winning Astronomer Royal mare Waltzing Cosmos a half-sister to stakes-placegetters Bits Of Paradise and Chausson Dore out of the Group II King's Stand Stakes and Group II Jacobs Goldene Peitsche winner Don't Worry Me (Dancing Dissident).

The Group 1 Caulfield Guineas hero Divine Prophet shuttled to Tara Stud for one season in 2019, covering 61 mares.

Last season the son of Chosir clocked in as the eighth leading first-crop sire for individual winners and eleventh on prizemoney.

On Wednesday, his stakes-placed daughter Fortunate Kiss was a fast-finishing second behind the progressive Linus Legend at Sandown. The following day the Edward Cummings-trained Three Wise Men opened his winning account at Hawkesbury at his first start since the Group I JJ Atkins Stakes at Eagle Farm in June.

Divine Prophet stands at Aquis Farm's showpiece at Canungra, in the Gold Coast hinterland, in Queensland for a fee of $16,500.
