Dalakhani highest rated 2 yo at 118
Unbeaten in 3 runs at 2, including the Gr I Critérium International, Dalakhani is rated 118 by the International Classifications
Unbeaten in 3 runs at 2, including the Gr I Critérium International, Dalakhani is rated 118 by the International Classifications , making him the leading juvenile colt trained in France.
A half brother to World Champion Daylami, himself winner of seven Group I races, Dalakhani was probably awarded this excellent rating on the back of his victory in the Critérium International, where he was not stretched to beat Chevalier (116), the pair of them five lengths ahead of the rest of the field.
This exciting Classic prospect by Darshaan had previously easily accounted for a quality field in the Group III Prix des Chênes.
