Runner-up to Mehmas (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) over five furlongs on debut at Chester May 5, Madam Dancealot ran ninth in the G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot June 15 before breaking her maiden at this distance at Newbury July 7. Seventh behind Fair Eva (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in Ascot's G3 Princess Margaret S. 16 days later, the bay was second to the potentially smart colt Phijee (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}) in a conditions event also over this trip at Ripon last time Aug. 13. Breaking well to gain the lead after a furlong, she pressed on approaching the last two furlongs and maintained the momentum to defy the Simcock pair Mystic Dawn and Pellucid. Madam Dancealot, who becomes the first black-type winner for the leading first-season sire, emanates from the family of the sires Royal Strand (Ire), Restructure (Ire) and Alderbrook (GB), the latter of which was the winner of the G2 Prix Dollar on the flat and the Champion Hurdle over jumps. Further back are the classy Danehill trio of Ace (Ire), who was runner-up in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf and G1 Prince of Wales's S., and Hawkeye (Ire), placed in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, and Danish (Ire), who captured the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup.
