The Danehill line shone out in griffin winner Money Man at Sha Tin yesterday - then proceeded to dominate the entire Sha Tin card.

Danehill sired four of the 11 winners while another four were by sons of Danehill, with Australia's current boom son of the deceased super stallion, Redoute's Choice, providing bookends to the day in Money Man and Supreme Class.

And typical of the Danehill line two-year-olds, Money Man (Brett Prebble) has really taken to the racing game with relish, improving quickly from a worthwhile debut second to Inspiration to street his rivals yesterday with no sign of the wayward running that was apparent first up.

'Of course, today he was on the inside rail and probably more comfortable than out in the middle the other day, but he had come on a lot for the experience first time out and it showed. He did everything right this time,' said trainer Caspar Fownes, who collected a double when Stable Mail (Felix Coetzee) won later.

'He is only small, Money Man, but he is nicely put together and he has a terrific attitude to his racing that is going to see him quite progressive.'

Stable Mail has now won two of his four dirt runs and put the writing on the wall with a big trial win recently - which was Coetzee's only concern.
