"She is a stakes winning daughter of Tale of the Cat, from a high class stakes producing family, and she is a sound racehorse in winning form," commented Curraghmore Stud's Gordon Cunningham.
"She was well rated physically as a yearling and I'm looking forward to seeing her in the next few days when she arrives at Curraghmore."
The four-year-old mare commenced racing as a two-year-old, winning on debut, and won her first stakes race at her third start in the Listed Welcome Stakes when trained by Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.
Dancer's Tale was also stakes placed in the Listed Wellesley Stakes as a two-year-old and competed in New Zealand's richest race, the $1m Karaka Million. She accumulated four wins in her 21 starts and has placed in a further four races, now trained by Wayne Marshment.
Commencing Saturday's race from barrier 2 with Lisa Allpress riding, Dancer's Tale settled one off the rail as Pass It On (NZ) (Howbaddouwantit) led the way. Dancer's Tale rallied through runners in the straight, driving to the lead to win by a head over Pass It On in second place.
Owned by the Challenge No.1 Syndicate, managed by Adrian Clark, the four-year-old mare has earned $75,460 in prizemoney to date.
