About

Dyce is a 6-year-old gelding from South Africa, trained by Michael Nicholas Houdalakis. He is sired by the stallion William Longsword and his dam is Beshaayir. Throughout his career, Dyce has won 10 races. On January 27, 2024, at Kenilworth, he was ridden by Craig Zackey and achieved his most significant victory yet, winning the $1,013,755 World Pool Cape Flying Championship (Wfa) (Grade 1) by defeating Thunderstruck. Dyce has proven to be a lucrative horse for bettors; those who backed him throughout his career would have seen a 220 percent return on their investment.
