"Washington DC shows once again he’s a capital sire.
…Sondad is one of three rags-to-riches top-notch sprinters in Britain and Ireland this season by Washington DC from just 28 runners, along with American Affair and Washington Heights... Washington DC, a Windsor Castle Stakes winner and Prix de l’Abbaye runner-up by Zoffany, looks like a bit of an upgrading influence…"
