Dacia is shown in the famous colours of Colonel Peel (brother of the former Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel), with the old 18th Century King's Stand at the end of the Beacon Course at Newmarket in the background. A chestnut filly by Gladiator out of Polyxema, Dacia first belonged to Lord Spencer for whom, as a three-year-old, she won a small handicap at Stamford. After that race she was sold to Colonel Peel for whom she began by running 2nd in a field of 32 in the Cesarewitch, beaten by only a length by The Cur. Her next race was the Cambridgeshire where, ridden by Brown, she won having started at 4 to 1 second favourite. She seems to have only run once as a four-year-old, when unplaced in the Chester Cup, and, after two foals at stud, was sold to France.
