Darley stallions completed a quick fire Stakes double on Saturday, 7 May through Rogue Millennium and Aldaary.
First to salute the judge was Dubawi’s three-year-old daughter Rogue Millennium in the Listed Oaks Trial Stakes at Lingfield Park. The lightly raced filly came into the race unbeaten after a debut win at Wetherby, and after being held up early, she swooped late to record a head triumph over Mystic Wells, with Golden Horn’s daughter Makinmedoit gaining valuable Black Type in third.

Expertly handled by trainer Tom Clover, the Shadwell Stud-bred filly will now likely be supplemented for the G1 Epsom Oaks at the start of June.
Twenty minutes later Aldaary gained a well deserved first Stakes victory when easily landing the Listed Spring Trophy. The first-crop son of Territories was held up in the rear before making smooth progress down the outside, eventually running out the three-and-a-half length winner.
A stylish victory for Aldaary in the Listed Pertemps Network Spring Trophy Stakes!

Aldaary was very progressive last season, winning two big field handicaps at Ascot off official ratings of 103 and 109.
Bred by M E Broughton, Aldaary is out of the winning Pivotal mare Broughtons Revival, who also has a two-year-old colt by Territories in training with Kevin Philippart De Foy.
