Top Exceed And Excel (Danehill - Patrona, by Lomond) colt Helmet (Exceed And Excel - Accessories, by Singspiel) tuned up for his arduous international campaign with a sound trial effort at Cranbourne on Monday night.

The Cranbourne Turf Club held the trials as a test run ahead of the start of night racing at the venue next month. The Darley organisation took the chance to trial the Caulfield Guineas winner on a racing surface before he begins his campaign, which will also take in Dubai.

Helmet behind the leader before working home strongly to post a comfortable 1-1/4 length win in the opening heat of the evening in the reasonable time of 59.45 seconds for 1000 metres.

“We came here for a solid hit-out and that’s what he had,” Helmet’s jockey Kerrin McEvoy told Racing Victoria.

The Snowden stable decided to leave multiple Group 1 winner Sepoy (Elusive Quality - Watchful, by Danehill) home at Flemington but trialled the talented Caline (Elusive Quality - Daanet Al Dunya).

Caline won her heat by half a length in 60.61 seconds.

Cox Plate winner Pinker Pinker (Reset - Miss Marion) worked home nicely to finish third in the third heat of the evening.

Promising colt Knight’s Tour (Reset - Hestia, by Machiavellian) became the 16^th individual stakes winner for Darley stallion Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) with his victory in Monday’s Group 2 Great Northern Guineas (1600m) at Ellerslie.

Knight’s Tour had his third start in the Great Northern Guineas. The three-year-old settled just off the speed before fighting strongly to hold off the late charge of the previously unbeaten Ocean Park (Thorn Park - Sayyida, by Zabeel).

Cambridge Stud champion Zabeel appeared in the pedigrees of all three placegetters in the Great Northern Guineas after Burgundy (Redoute’s Choice - Grand Echezeaux, by Zabeel) finished third.

Knight’s Tour’s trainer Steven McKee said King’s Tour’s success proved the horse was a legitimate Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) contender but he would plot a path to keep the developing talent fresh for the staying classic in late January.

“For now I’ll just keep him at a mile, he’s a little bit new yet,” McKee told The Informant.

“He’d run 2400 (metres) today if I wanted him to but he can have a trip away and run in the Wellington Stakes. Other than that he can go around here as he needs to for the experience before the Derby.”

IDL Racing paid $NZ65,000 for Knight’s Tour at the 2010 NZB NZ Select Sale.

Meanwhile, Fastnet Rock (Danehill - Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) filly Planet Rock (Fastnet Rock - Akris, by Zabeel) continued on her winning way in the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m).

Planet Rock won the Group 1 NZ 1000 Guineas (1600m) at her previous start before proving too good for Testa Secret (Testa Rossa - Acacian Secret, by Silver Deputy) in the $NZ100,000 event.

“The (New Zealand) Oaks remains her mission but if she’s come through this she can back for the Royal Stakes,” said co-trainer Peter Williams.

“She’s actually put on weight since she came north, so that’s a good sign with what’s coming up.”

Gritty Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) mare Cassini (Reset - Mathematical, by Honor Grades) earned her second stakes win with a comprehensive success in Saturday’s Group 3 Manawatu Cup (2300m) at Awapuni.

Cassini won the Listed Wanganui Cup last month before adding Saturday’s $NZ70,000 feature to her record. The six-year-old finished second in last year’s Manawatu Cup before going one better.

The mare’s trainer Mark Oulaghan told The Informant the mare would progress to richer staying races throughout the New Zealand summer carnival, including the City Of Auckland Cup at Ellerslie before the Group 2 Wellington Cup (2400m) but ruled out a run in the 3200-metre Auckland Cup.

“She’ll go to Auckland and hopefully through that to Wellington,” Oulaghan said. “She’s more of a 2000-metre horse that gets 2400 at a pinch.”

Meanwhile, Justanexcuse (No Excuse Needed - Aggressive, by Val Dansant) became the 13^th individual stakes winner for Waikato Stud sire No Excuse Needed (Machiavellian - Nawaiet, by Zilzal) with his success in the Group 3 Harcourts Challenge Stakes (1400m) at Awapuni.

A field of 15 has accepted for Saturday’s Group 1 Kingston Town Classic (1800m) at Ascot, which is the final Group 1 race in Australia for 2011.

Australia and New Zealand have hosted 31 Group 1 races to date this season. Fastnet Rock (Danehill - Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) has produced the winners of four Group 1 race in the first half of the 2011/12 term but does not have a runner in the Kingston Town Classic.

Vinery Stud stallion Testa Rossa (Perugino - Bo Dapper, by Sir Dapper) has the chance to win his second Perth Group 1 race in a fortnight. Ortensia (Testa Rossa - Aerate’s Pick, by Picnicker) claimed the newly-promoted Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) while Ranger can atone for a luckless Railway Stakes run in the Kingston Town Classic.

Bradbury’s Luck (Redoute’s Choice - Skating, by At Talaq) scored his first Group 1 win as a sire in controversial fashion when Luckygray (Bradbury’s Luck - Damah Lady, by Mukaddamah) won the Railway Stakes on protest on November 19. Luckygray will have a chance to show his Railway Strakes win was no fluke.

Below is the final field for Saturday’s $500,000 Group 1 Kingston Town Classic (1800m) at Ascot. Perth Racing will conduct the barrier draw for the weight-for-age race on Wednesday.

Cassini (6 m Reset – Mathematical, by Honor Grades) swooped late to take Saturday’s Wanganui Cup (Listed, 2040m) in New Zealand. Cassini was covered up midfield behind the leaders until deep into the straight where she came through between horses with a strong run to reach the lead inside the final 100m.

Cassini defeated the race-favourite Spiro and Manonamission in what is her first black type success.

Cassini is now likely to be aimed at the Gr 2 City Of Auckland Cup over 2400m at Ellerslie on January 21, a race she finished second in last season.

Cassini is out of Mathematical, a half-sister to Gr 2 Sir Tristram Classic winner Centrofold and her granddam True Devotion the winner of the 1984 West Australia Oaks.

Reset stands at Darley Northwood Park where his fee in 2011 is set at $16,500 incl GST). He has now sired 15 stakes winners.

Darley stallions cut a swathe through Friday night’s Moonee Valley meeting with a hat trick of winners.

Exceed And Excel (Danehill - Patrona, by Lomond) mare Exceed And Excite (Exceed And Excel - Ladidi, by Palace Music) started things off for Darley with her gritty win in the Essendon Mazda 55-Second Challenge (955m).

Exceed And Excite led at a quick pace before pulling out plenty to win the $30,000 race by a short head. Newmarc Bloodstock paid $65,000 for Exceed And Excite at the 2009 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Reconcentrate (Reset - Border Reverie, by Brief Truce) came from off the speed to claim the next race, the Cleanaway Handicap (1200m). Reconcentrate’s dam Border Reverie (Selkirk - Dreams, by Rainbow Quest) foaled a filly by Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) earlier this month.

Provincial trainer Malcolm Carson produced the third winner by a Darley stallion when On My Command led throughout to claim the Moonee Valley - Celebrating 150 Years Handicap (1200m).

Earlier, Anthony Freedman produced Alarms (Lonhro - RIona, by Strategic) to win the racingnetwork.com.au Handicap (1100m) at Kyneton.

The Darley roster has four representatives in the top 10 Australian sires by earnings this season. Reset is ranked fourth while Elusive Quality (fifth), Commands (ninth) and Exceed And Excel (10^th) are also among the elite stallions in the first third of the 2011/12 season.

Local trainer Matthew Williams did the right thing by Hunter Valley operation Widden Stud by producing a double from the breeder’s impressive line-up at Tuesday’s Warrnambool meeting.

Williams prepared Janszoon (Lucky Owners - First Ashore, by High Estate) to win the Hairroom 116 Maiden Plate (1700m) before High Class Lady handled her older rivals easily in the Melbourne Marriott Hotel Handicap (1200m).

Meanwhile, Darley Sires Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) and Gonski (Danehill - Abonnement, by Marauding) combined for a Tuesday double at Ballina and Warrnambool.

The Gonski filly Siwa Lady (Gonski - Siwa, by Green Desert) proved too speedy for her opposition in the Brant Murrihy Demolitions Maiden (1000m) at Warrnambool. Victoria has proven a happy hunting ground for Gonski with half of his 10 winners for the season coming in the southern state.

La Cavenne (Reset - Hill Of Peace, by Danehill) completed Darley’s dual success when the mare claimed the Slipway Hotel Handicap (1000m) at Ballina.

Pinker Pinker (4 m Reset - Miss Marion, by Success Express) sprang a 25/1 upset in Saturday’s $3 million Tatts Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m).

With Helmet setting a strong gallop, Pinker Pinker came through between horses before the home turn and then proved too strong for Jimmy Choux (Thorn Park) in the straight to go clear and score by one and a quarter lengths. Rekindled Interest (Redoutes Choice) looked a chance turning for home and stuck on well for third, just in front of the fast finishing Wall Street.

“It’s hard to absorb at the moment, it’s really got to me. It’s a great experience.” said winning trainer Greg Eurell. “We spoke to Craig yesterday afternoon and as typical as Craig is he had it worked out to the minute what we would like to do and went through the whole race. He was very confident.”

“I was very, very happy with the way she led into this, this mare, all the way through. You always have little hiccups, that create a problem and you don’t like to see but she just had nothing go wrong. She led into this absolutely perfect.”

Eurell paid $120,000 for Pinker Pinker as a yearling at the 2009 Melbourne Premier Sale on behalf of David and Carol Gazdowicz. “It’s funny how things work out. We were at the Inglis Sales walking around and we ran into David and Carol and they had a couple of horses picked out that they wanted me to have a look at and I had a look at her and she was the one we wanted. Fortunately, we got her and just went on from there.”

Pinker Pinker is the second Group 1 winner for her sire Reset (Zabeel) who stands at Darley Victoria, his fee in 2012 at $16,500 incl GST.

Darley sires have provided five of the 16 acceptors for Saturday’s weight-for-age blockbuster, the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley.

The worldwide breeding and racing operation bred and races Helmet (Exceed And Excel - Accessories, by Singspiel), who is the ruling favourite for the $3 million event. Helmet led all the way to win a memorable renewal of the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on October 8.

The Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) winner Secret Admirer (Dubawi - Secret Illusion, by Secret Savings) is also among the Cox Plate acceptors. The Grahame Begg-trained mare has drawn barrier eight for her Melbourne debut.

Secret Admirer will meet the Epsom Handicap runner-up Pinker Pinker (Reset - Miss Marion, by Success Express) in the Cox Plate. Craig Williams will ride the Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) mare, which has drawn barrier 12.

Storming Home (Machiavellian - Try To Catch Me, by Shareef Dancer) stands at Darley’s Japanese operation. The two-time Group 1 winner Lion Tamer (Storming Home - Lioness, by Generous) will represent the sire in the Cox Plate.

The fifth member of the Darley-sired quintet, Avienus (Reset - Genova, by Darshaan) is the first emergency for the race. A start for the mare hinges of the fitness of the Gai Waterhouse-trained Descarado (High Chaparral - Karamea Lady, by Lord Ballina).

Miss Rendina (Elvstroem - Miss Marion, by Success Express) outdid the debut performance of her well-performed half-sister with her win at Tuesday’s Echuca meeting.

Miss Rendina won the Border Inn Hotel Maiden Plate (1100m) on debut for the Steve McKinnon stable, eclipsing her Group 2-winning half-sister Pinker Pinker’s (Reset - Miss Marion, by Success Express) first run.

Pinker Pinker missed a place in a Geelong Synthetic maiden before winning twice on city tracks later in the year.

The Greg Eurell-trained daughter of Miss Marion (Success Express - Golden Deed, by Jevington) has developed into one of Australia’s most consistent mares. Pinker Pinker has won twice at Group 2 level in the 2011 Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m) and Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m).

Pinker Pinker has also placed at Group 1 level when she finished third in the AJC Australian Oaks (2400m) at Randwick in April.

McKinnon trained Miss Marion during her racing career. The mare won four of her 13 starts.

A maiden win for a half-sister to one of Australia’s best-loved racehorses provided young Darley sire Dubawi (Dubai Millennium - Zomaradah, by Deploy) with his 11^th success of the season at Sale on Tuesday.

Dubawi’s Daughter (Dubawi - Tennessee Blaze, by Whiskey Road) is a half-sister to the 2007/08 Australian Champion Sprinter Apache Cat (Lion Cavern - Tennessee Blaze, by Whiskey Road). Apache Cat’s distinctive facial markings and boundless bravery endeared him to Australia’s racing public during his 19-win career.

Dubawi’s Daughter won the Mitre 10 Australia Maiden Plate (1424m) to begin a Darley domination of the Sale meeting. Darley’s sires won four of the eight races on the card at the Victorian meeting.

The Anthony Freedman stable produced Sabres (Elusive Quality - Duel At Daybreak, by Dayjur) to win the BOC Gases Maiden Plate (1213m), Sean Baile Mor (Cape Cross - Rockabella Bay, by Sadler’s Wells) claimed the Designed Pine Handicap (1524m) while Ladramahs (Shamardal - Tatham, by Kayhasi) won the Eastcoast Plumbing Handicap (1424m).

Reset’s (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) stakes winning son Likefatherlikeson (Reset - Classical Star, by Star Way) scored the fourth win of his career at Nowra while Ratstan (Strategic - Inconstant, by Brief Truce) made it six wins for Darley sires on Monday.

Elusive Quality (Gone West - Touch Of Greatness, by Hero’s Honor) picked up his 15^th win of the season as part of a treble for Darley stallions on Sunday.

Premier Sydney trainer Chris Waller prepared Nocturnelle (Elusive Quality - Dama De Noche, by Snippets) to claim the Ashcroft Handicap (1300m) at Warwick Farm. Nocturnelle’s dam Dama De Noche (Snippets - Daisy Bates, By Danehill) was a stakes winner in the Group 3 Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) in 2002.

The John McNair-trained Shamus (Shamardal - Denia, by Thunder Gulch) completed a double for Darley sires at Warwick Farm when the five-year-old took out the Camden Handicap (1000m). The Dean Lawson stable produced Darley’s third winner of the day when California Valley (Reset - Edna Valley, by Rubiton) won the James & Son Horse Feed Handicap (2200m) at Ballarat.

California Valley’s dam Edna Valley (Rubiton - Sleepy Seymour, by Lord Seymour) won three of 13 starts in her racing days but the breeding phase of the mare’s career has yielded two stakes winners, Chitabe (Perugino - Edna Valley, by Rubiton) and Cornelia Marie (Reset - Edna Valley, by Rubiton).

The breeding career of Group 3 winner Dane Belltar (Danewin - Ameerat-Blaadi, by Kenmare) gained further momentum after the mare produced her second winning son in four days at Tuesday’s Kyneton meeting.

Dane Belltar was good enough to finish in the placings three times at Group 1 level in her racing days. The mare could earn her first stakes success as a broodmare during the upcoming spring season.

Dane Belltar’s oldest son Tanby (Galileo - Dane Belltar, by Danewin) showed himself to be a strong staying prospect with his comfortable win at Moonee Valley last Saturday.

Revitalise (Bel Esprit - Dane Belltar, by Danewin) became the mare’s third winner from three to race with his decisive success in Tuesday’s Hanging Rock Winery Maiden Plate (1112m) at Kyneton.

Prominent Melbourne businessman Lloyd Williams owns Tanby, Revitialise and Dane Belltar’s other son to race, the city winner Fawkner (Reset - Dane Belltar, by Danewin).

Williams’s son Nick paid $200,000 for Tanby at the 2008 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale while Fawkner fetched $70,000 at the 2009 Inglis Premier Sale. Graeme Rogerson purchased Revitalise on Williams’s behalf for $145,000 at last year’s Inglis Premier Sale.

Baltic Spirit (Bel Esprit - Curvaceous Miss, Anabaa) completed a double for Bel Esprit with his win in the Gordon Hassett Tribute Handicap (1000m) at Townsville.

A new stakes winner for young sire Nadeem (Redoute’s Choice - Candide, by Sound Reason) formed part of an outstanding day for Darley stallions, which yielded four stakes wins in Melbourne and Sydney.

Specter (Nadeem - Woman In White, by Daylami) provided Nadeem with his second stakes winner out of his first crop with his strong success in the Listed Henry Bucks Best Dressed Stakes (1400m) at Flemington. Sepoy (Elusive Quality - Watchful, by Danehill) took his career earnings to more than $3 million with his decisive win in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1200m).

Sepoy cruised to his seventh win from eight starts with his one-length success in the $250,000 event but Peter Snowden said a decision must be made as to where the super three-year-old has his next run with the Manikato Stakes the option if the Darley trainer has his way.

“It is a Group I race, it is a magnificent race, it is a stallion-making race so we have got to certainly look at it in a big way,” Snowden said.

“It is a group decision both here in Australia and in Dubai. The boss has got to agree, it would be my call to go that way (the Manikato Stakes).”

Pinker Pinker (Reset - Miss Marion, by Success Express) completed a Darley stakes treble in the Group 2 Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m). The four-year-old sprinted quickly from the 300 metres to beat the unlucky Mid Summer Music (Oamaru Force - Samsara Lady, by Nassipour) and Parables (Lonhro - Fairytales, by Night Shift)

Commands (Danehill - Cotehele House, by My Swanee) colt Ambidexter (Commands - Dextrous, Quest For Fame) swept home down the middle of the track to provide Commands with his 40^th individual stakes winner in the Listed Ming Dynasty Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill.

Carin Park is to stand the dual Derby winner Rebel Raider (Reset - Picholine, by Dehere) who will commence stud duties at their Hamilton property in 2011.

Rebel Raider won the Gr3 SAJC Sires’ Produce Stakes as a 2yo, the VRC and SAJC Derbies as a 3yo, and a WFA winner at 1200m as a 5yo. Rebel Raider ranked top of the 2008-09 Australasian 3yo Classifications (long).

His Co trainer Leon Macdonald said, ”I was fortunate to train the Champion 3yo of his era & AJC Derby winner Gold Guru and I’d have to say that Rebel Raider was a better stayer and he never realised his full potential”.

Rebel Raider is a half-brother to Gr2 winner Shamoline Warrior and is a grandson of champion sire Sir Tristram. He will be standing at a fee of $5,500 (inc GST) fwith discounts for Multiple or Stakes winning mares.

Darley’s stallion line-up has continued to warm to the task early in the 2011/12 season after the team produced winning doubles at Tuesday’s Kensington and Geelong Synthetic meetings.

Last season’s most prolific winning sire Commands (Danehill - Cotehele House, by My Swanee) got the ball rolling for Darley when the David Hayes-trained Amaal (Commands - Written By A Queen, by Masterclass) claimed the Tamarama Maiden Handicap (1400m) at Randwick.

Written By A Queen (Masterclass - Jelignite Jen, by Crested Wave) is a stakes-placed half-sister to the New Zealand Group 2 winner Singing Star (Danasinga - Jelignite Jen, by Crested Wave).  Written By A Queen produced a colt by Flying Spur last year.

The Guy Walter-trained Doctor Doom (Domesday - Orcym, by Orpen) completed the Sydney legs of Darley’s quartet with his success in the Eastlakes Maiden Handicap (1400m).

The Tony Vasil stable produced a smart daughter of Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) to win the GRC Function Centre Maiden (1200m) on the Geelong Synthetic track. Classic Elle (Reset - Mystic Elle, by Encosta De Lago) streeted her rivals to post a five-length win in the $12,000 race.

Classic Elle is a half-sister to the city winner True Tales (Tale Of The Cat - Mystic Elle, by Encosta De Lago).

The Fantastic Light (Rahy - Jood, by Nijinsky II) mare Princess Fontaine (Fantastic Light - Dandasila, by Danehill Dancer) completed Darley’s winning day with her effort to take out the Charles Rose Jewellers Handicap (1900m).

A win for a brother to Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper winner Sepoy (Elusive Quality - Watchful, by Danehill) was the highlight of a successful day for Darley sires.

Sepoy is likely to be crowned Australia’s champion two-year-old at the end of the season. His three-year-old brother Cautious Time (Elusive Quality - Watchful, by Danehill) won the Wayne Cadman and Associates Handicap (1000m) at Gunnedah.

The Darley operation matched Coolmore Stud’s big day with six winners of its own on a fruitful Friday, including a double for winning machine Commands (Danehill - Cotehele House, by My Swanee).

In His Honour (Commands - Coronation Night, by Marauding)  took the St George Country Basin Handicap (1200m) at Nowra before Oak Street (Commands - Restless Dream, by Rory’s Jester) completed Commands’s double in the XXXX Gold Maiden Handicap (1100m) at Ipswich.

Like Coolmore, Darley sires produced at least one winner at each of the five meetings held in Australia on Friday. Will Conquer (Domesday - Pointed, by Flying Spur) provided the Victorian leg for Darley with his win in Momentum Energy Maiden Plate (2100m) at Geelong.

Darley sires completed a double at the Gunnedah meeting when Attica (Reset - Siwa, by Green Desert) took out the Clubhouse Hotel Maiden Plate (1600m). Outgun (Dubawi - Embroid, by Barathea) completed an outstanding day for Darley with his win at Cowra.

Elusive Quality (Gone West - Touch Of Greatness, by Hero’s Honor) recorded the 59^th two-year-old winner for Darley stallions when Cornell (Elusive Quality - Ivy League, by Doyoun) took out the GRC Function & Event Centre Maiden at Friday’s Geelong Synthetic meeting.

Cornell posted a length win for the Lee Freedman stable to give Elusive Quality his third two-year-old winner for the season. The Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained Star Of Giselle (Reset - Princesa, by Danehill) completed a Darley double at Geelong with her six-length romp in the Geelong News Channel 31 Maiden (1100m).

Meanwhile, the late shuttle sire Ishiguru (Danzig - Strategic Maneuver, by Cryptoclearance) posted a double of his own with successes at Geelong and Sha Tin in Hong Kong.

The Colin and Cindy Alderson-trained Guru Bay (Ishiguru - Capebay, by Kaapstad) completed the Australian leg of the sire’s double with his win in the third heat of the Geelong Synthetic Series (1100m). Nice Folks (Ishiguru - Riaineoin, by Prized) won the Guangdong Community Organisations Cup (1800m) at Sha Tin.

Ishiguru shuttled to stand at Chequers Stud in New Zealand until his untimely death in 2009.

Gold Coast-trained five-year-old Frozone (Reset - Ice Maiden, by O’Reilly) became the 14^th stakes winner for Darley stallion Reset (Zabeel - Assertive Lass, by Zeditave) in Saturday’s Listed Tattersall’s Racing Club Mile (1600m) at Eagle Farm.

Frozone posted a three-quarter of a length success in the $100,000 event to earn his first stakes win at his 27^th start. The gelding’s trainer, Alan Bailey, paid $200,000 for Frozone at the 2007 NZB Premier Yearling Sale.

Frozone’s win was the seventh of his consistent career; the victory took his prizemoney tally to more than $300,000.

The Peter Snowden-trained Pinwheel (Lonhro - Quilt, by Danehill) completed a stakes double for Darley with his fast-finishing win in the Group 3 W J Healy Stakes (1200m).

Pinwheel’s Healy Stakes win was the Lonhro (Octagonal - Shadea, by Straight Strike) gelding’s third at stakes level but his first above Listed grade. Pinwheel is one of four stakes winners sired by Lonhro out of daughters of Danehill.

Gutsy mare Beaded (Lonhro - Subtle, by Night Shift) fell a half neck short of giving Lonhro a stakes double at Eagle Farm in the Group 1 Winter Stakes.

Darley yesterday announced the fees for 26 stallions it will stand in Australia for the 2011 breeding season, headed by Street Cry ($110,000 inc. GST), Shamardal ($88,000), Medaglia d’Oro ($77,000) and Commands ($66,000).

“The Darley stallions have enjoyed their best year yet. From our youngsters Nadeem and Ad Valorem who have had their first two-year-olds running this season, to our proven stallions such as Street Cry, Shamardal, Lonhro and Commands, we really have had a tremendous year,” Henry Plumptre, Darley’s Managing Director in Australia said.

“Looking forward, we are enthusiastic about our six stallion prospects with their first two-year-olds running later this year and are encouraged by the progeny of our even younger horses, some of which will feature at the forthcoming breeding stock sales. We look forward to offering breeders a roster of outstanding quality and talking to our clients in the coming months.”
