  • Darley adds Champion Quartet to Gr1 Roster

    Tuesday, 16th March 2021

    One year after adding three Champions to its roster, Darley Australia will offer another four Champion stallions for the 2021 season. Australia's World Champion Sprinter Bivouac (Exceed and Excel-Dazzler, by More Than Ready) will be joined by three outstanding shuttle sires: Pinatubo (Shamardal-Lava Flow, by Dalakhani), Ghaiyyath (Dubawi-Nightime, by Galileo) and Earthlight (Shamardal-Winter's Moon, by New Approach) – every one of them a Champion. They boast 12 Group 1 victories and join Darley Australia just 12 months after the arrival of fellow Champions Too Darn Hot (Dubawi-Dar Re Mi, by Singspiel), Blue Point (Shamardal-Scarlett Rose, by Royal Applause) and Microphone (Exceed and Excel-Sung, by Anabaa). "These four horses are of a quality that is as high as we could wish for," said Darley Australia's Managing Director Vin Cox. "Any farm would take any one of them in a heartbeat. Each is an immaculately bred son of a prepotent sire. We are immensely proud to have them and can't wait to offer these Champions to breeders." Earthlight and Ghaiyyath will stand at Darley's Northwood Park in Victoria; Bivouac and Pinatubo (see below) will join the Kelvinside, NSW roster. Fees for all four stallions will be announced at a later date. For full race details on each stallion, Click Here.
