updated= July 3, 2007Redoute's Dancer is a Thoroughbred racehorse who won the New Zealand Derby in 2007.

Having competed in fairly low-class company in Sydney throughout the early part of his three year-old season, the connections of the son of Redoute's Choice decided to chase a Group 1 win for the colt and high prize money against what they rightly perceived as a weaker than average male three year-old crop in New Zealand.

He had one start in New Zealand before the Derby in the Championship Stakes on the same course, a race which has been won by the last two Derby winners. He won the race easily before impressively beating the best New Zealand had to offer in the 2007 Derby.

Although disappointing in Group 1 company back in Australia since, his connections remain confident that he will be competitive at the highest level there. He is reportedly being set for the Melbourne Cup in November.
