March started well on the first day with a win from homebred Dream Ahead colt FIERY SPICE. At the other end of the ratings another Dream Ahead homebred and Avodale’s first foal VISIONARY stayed on for a comfortable victory in a smart Conditions race in Ireland over 7 furlongs. Today, the 15th March, FIERY SPICE pulled off the hayrick winning for the third consecutive time off a mark of 65. A good training performance by Robert Cowell.

The Dasmal team has had a good start to the year, headed by Visionary who looks like he should progress as a three year old into a smart performer. His win this year has seen his rating rise to 94.
Another winner was homebred Fiery Spice who, returned at the sale for box walking, broke his maiden at the third attempt over the minimum having shown greenness his first two outings.
A third winner was Abatement on Saturday 28th at Lingfield. Such a stunning yearling Mark was underbidder at Tattersalls and having failed to acquire him recommended Mr Dasmal take a share in him with Highclere.
There were also promising runs from Majeed, King Cole and Speed Hawk in Dubai. We are still looking forward to Vin Chaud making his reappearance.
Both Majeed and Vin Chaud showed their upwardly mobile profiles with wins in May at Kempton and Maison Lafitte respectively. They are both rated now in the nineties and are exciting prospects for the summer. Both were bought by Mark at Arqana in Deauville.
Mark was delighted to purchase an Invincible Spirit colt for 75,000 guineas at the 2015 Craven Breeze up for a new partnership. The colt will be trained by Classic winning trainer Roger Varian.
Prince Suhail obliged in the Al Jazira Handicap in Abu Dhabi to become Khalifa Dasmal’s first winner of the year. Bought by Mark Crossman as a yearling he had a modestly successful career in France before being taken out to Dubai last year.
