Dream return for Arc heroine

Last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Danedream made a triumphant return to action at Baden-Baden on Sunday.

Comfortable success for Arc heroine

Danedream made a successful start to a new campaign when landing the Grosser Preis Der Badischen Unternehmer at Baden-Baden. Last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine, trained by Peter Schiergen and ridden by Andrasch Starke, got back on the winning trail after being beaten in the Japan Cup on her final start of 2011. Danedream took over early in the straight but having looked in no danger she began to tire inside the final furlong of the 11. The closers were gaining with every stride but Danedream had enough in hand to hold on for a comfortable success. She took the Group Two contest from Ovambo Queen in second place with stablemate Silvaner third.
