Sam Bullard, Darley’s director of stallions in Europe said, “The Darley stallions have enjoyed another superb year on the racecourse. Dubawi has sired two G1 winners and Shamardal (€50,000) has sired three. New Approach could not have made a better start to his stud career and Raven’s Pass is hot on his heels.”

He continued, “Sepoy and Helmet, two of the world’s best racehorses to retire to stud in recent years, are a very exciting addition to our European roster, and at £15,000 and €10,000 respectively, we believe they represent tremendous value. We look forward to showing them to breeders in the new year.”
