Dulcify (1975–1979) was a New Zealand-bred Thoroughbred racehorse. His British-bred sire was the 1970 Irish 2,000 Guineas winner, Decies, a grandson of Pharis, the very important French sire whom ''Thoroughbred Heritage'' says is ''considered one of the greatest French-bred runners of the century''. Dulcify's dam was the Australian mare Sweet Candy, a daughter of 1957 Golden Slipper Stakes winner and Australian Racing Hall of Fame inducteeTodman. Dulcify was owned and raced by Colin Hayes, who purchased him for $3,250. Hayes called him the best horse he ever raced. () Dulcify was a patient, come-from-behind runner. His most important career win came in the 1979 Cox Plate, which he won by a still-standing record of seven lengths.〔(Dulcify's Cox Plate, 1979 )〕 The betting favourite for the 1979 Melbourne Cup, he suffered a broken pelvis during the race and had to be euthanized. Inducted into the Australian racing Hall of Fame in 2014 ==References== * (Dulcify at the Horse Directory Australia website ) * (Video biography of Dulcify at YouTube ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dulcify」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
