	He ended up coming 2nd to Meiner Japan ~~on his first debut race~~, but won his second debut race shortly after.		Dantsu Flame made his debut in Hakodate Racecourse in a 1,000 meter dirt race but ended up coming 2nd after Meiner Japan, but won his second debut race shortly after under the same settings. He then went onto the turf scene, winning two open races, the Kikyo Stakes and Nojigiku Stakes in 1st place to end the year.
	=== ~~In 2001 (~~3 years old) ===
	In 2001 he won his first major race, the Arlington Cup with jockey Yutaka Take. He raced in the 2001 Satsuki Sho, but he finished 2nd to [[IRL:Agnes Tachyon\|Agnes Tachyon]], in the 2001 ~~Japan~~ Derby he finished 2nd to [[IRL:Jungle Pocket\|Jungle Pocket]] and finished 5th in the 2001 Kikuka Sho. It is said that if he'd been born in a different year, he might have been able to win these races. ~~<br>~~		=== 3 years old season (2001) ===
	After the Kikuka Sho, he switched his focus to mile races, and ran in the Mile Championship, but came in 5th after Zenno El Cid came from the outside.		In 2001, after placing 2nd in the Kisaragi Sho, he won his first major race, the Arlington Cup with jockey Yutaka Take. He raced in the 2001 Satsuki Sho, but he finished 2nd to [[IRL:Agnes Tachyon\|Agnes Tachyon]], in the 2001 Japanese Derby, he finished 2nd to [[IRL:Jungle Pocket\|Jungle Pocket]] and finished 5th in the 2001 Kikuka Sho after [[IRL:Manhattan Cafe\|Manhattan Cafe]]. It is said that if he'd been born in a different year, he might have been able to win these races. After the Kikuka Sho, his team switched his focus to mile races, and ran in the Mile Championship, but came in 5th after Zenno El Cid came from the outside.
	=== ~~In 2002 (~~4 years old) ===
	In 2002, after some of the strongest horses fighting for the Triple Crown retired, first with Agnes Tachyon and later with Kurofune, Jungle Pocket and ~~[[IRL:~~Manhattan Cafe~~\|Manhattan Cafe]]~~ were left to battle it out at the 2002 ~~Spring~~ Tenno Sho, but Dantsu Flame didn't choose to compete against them, instead ~~racing~~ in the Yasuda Kinen, finishing 2nd to Admire Cozzene, marking his third time finishing second in a G1 race.~~<br>~~		=== 4 years old season (2002) ===
	After the Yasuda Kinen, the team decided to choose the middle-distance Takarazuka Kinen for his next race, instead of the mile-distance Sekiya Kinen. Since Manhattan Cafe was scheduled to challenge the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Jungle Pocket withdrew from the ~~Takaruka~~ Kinen due to leg problems, this left a ray of hope for Dantsu Flame. He was the favorite to win, against the ~~two-time~~ champion [[IRL:Air Shakur\|Air Shakur]], and with Shinji Fujita as his jockey, first time since last year's Satsuki Sho. After battling it out with ~~Tsuruma~~ Boy and Lohengrin in the final spurt, Dantsu Flame crossed the finish line first, marking his first G1 victory.~~<br>~~		In 2002, after some of the strongest horses fighting for the Triple Crown retired, first with Agnes Tachyon and later with Kurofune, Jungle Pocket and Manhattan Cafe were left to battle it out at the 2002 Tenno Sho (Spring), but Dantsu Flame didn't choose to compete against them, instead he raced in the Yasuda Kinen, finishing 2nd after Admire Cozzene, marking his third time finishing second in a G1 race.
	However, after that, he came 5th in the Mainichi Okan, 14th in the ~~Autumn~~ Tenno Sho and 17th in the Mile Championship.
	=== ~~In 2003 (~~5 years old) ===		After the Yasuda Kinen, the team decided to choose the middle-distance Takarazuka Kinen for his next race, instead of the mile-distance Sekiya Kinen. Since Manhattan Cafe was scheduled to challenge the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Jungle Pocket withdrew from the Takarazuka Kinen due to leg problems, this left a ray of hope for Dantsu Flame. He was the favorite to win, against the Double Crown champion [[IRL:Air Shakur\|Air Shakur]], and with Shinji Fujita as his jockey, first time since last year's Satsuki Sho. After battling it out with Tsurumaru Boy and Lohengrin in the final spurt, Dantsu Flame crossed the finish line first, marking his first G1 victory. However, after that, he came 5th in the Mainichi Okan, 14th in the Tenno Sho (Autumn) and 17th in the Mile Championship.
	He started off the year in the ~~Mile~~ Cup, where he placed 4th, and then in the ~~Spring~~ Tenno Sho, where he placed fifth. He won the Niigata Daishoten after, but later placed 5th in the Yasuda Kinen and 7th in the Takarazuka Kinen behind Hishi Miracle. After a summer break, he was scheduled to return in the All Comers, but developed a bowed tendon on his right front leg, and was forced to retire for the first time.
	=== ~~In 2004 (~~6 years old) ===		=== 5 years old season (2003) ===
	After his retirement, he was scheduled to become a stud, but his name did not appear on the stud list at the beginning of spring, and fans thought he had simply disappeared.

	Dantsu Flame recovered from his bowed tendon and the owner decided to "give him another chance to shine", and he returned to local racing on NAR dirt races.
	===Retirement===		=== 6 years old season (2004) ===
	He retired in 2005 after 3 straight losses in graded races, and since his bloodline was frowned upon, he became a riding horse, but when a thorough examination was conducted, it was discovered that he had severe pneumonia.
