Dansili (27 January 1996 – 22 December 2021) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. He won five races, including the Prix du Muguet. After retiring from racing he became a successful stallion, with his progeny including Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Rail Link and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Harbinger. He also became Champion sire in France in 2006.
Dansili's Mare, Hasili, won four races as a two-year-old and is a daughter of Epsom Derby winner Kahyasi. She has also foaled Prix Jacques Le Marois winner Banks Hill, Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner Intercontinental, Man o' War Stakes winner Cacique, Matriarch Stakes winner Heat Haze and Canadian International Stakes winner Champs Elysees. Banks Hill, Intercontinental, Cacique, and Champs Elysees were also sired by Danehill.
Dansili started his four-year-old career by winning the Prix Edmond Blanc and Prix du Muguet. He then went to Royal Ascot for the Queen Anne Stakes. Racing outside France for the first time, he started at the odds of 100/30. Ridden by Olivier Peslier, he took the lead with one furlong left to run, but was overtaken by Kalanisi in the final 100 . Kalanisi went on to win by half a length over Dansili, who just held off Swallow Flight to secure second place. He then finished second again in the Sussex Stakes. This time he was beaten by Giant's Causeway by ¾ length. Racing again in France, he then disappointed in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp after starting as favourite. In his final two races he finished second behind Indian Lodge in the Prix de la Forêt and third behind War Chant in the Breeders' Cup Mile. During his racing career Dansili earned £373,602.
Dansili was retired from stud duty in April 2018 due to declining fertility. He died after a short but aggressive illness on 22 December 2021, at the age of 25. He would have turned 26 the following month.
