Dankaro
Dankaro (8 May 1971 died 30 September 1976) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. One of the last champions bred by Marcel Boussac, he showed promise as a two-year-old in 1973 when he won the Prix de Cabourg. In the following spring he established himself as arguably the best three-year-old colt in Europe with successive wins in the Prix Greffulhe, Prix Daru and Prix Lupin. He finished second when favourite for the Prix du Jockey Club and was the first male horse to finish when third to Dahlia in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. His racing career was then ended by injury and he was retired to stud where he had no success as a breeding stallion.
