Dance in the Dark (ダンスインザダーク, June 5, 1993 – January 2, 2020) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse. He was sired by Sunday Silence with the dam Dancing Key (sire Nijinsky II).
Career
[edit]Racing as a three-year-old, he defeated Fusaichi Concorde (winner of Japanese Derby) at Kikuka Sho (JPN Domestic GI, Japanese St. Leger), and was second in the Tokyo Yushun (JPN Domestic GI, Japanese Derby). After winning the Kikuka Sho, however, he was diagnosed with tendonitis, and as a result was retired to stand stud.[2]
