The son of Shamardal has been represented by 51 individual winners so far and is the sire of a pair of colts to strike at the highest level–G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero Rosallion (Ire), and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Big Evs (Ire). His tally of stakes winners stands at five, and he has an additional quintet of black-type performers led by GI Natalma S. third Dazzling Star (GB).

The 9-year-old's 2024 fee was listed at €60,000 at Kildangan Stud in Ireland.

The sire of undefeated G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Ace Impact (Fr), the Darley sire's eldest foals are 3-year-olds. He also has G2 Premio Dormello winner Aloa (GB) and four other stakes winners to date.

Von Ullmann said, “We believe that Cracksman is the perfect stallion for Schlenderhan's philosophy because he fits perfectly with our Adlerflug (Ger) mares, especially those out of Monsun (Ger) dams. What more can you ask of a stallion who in his first crop has bred an Arc winner? We have a couple of Adlerflug mares who could visit him next year. We will wait until we do our proper planning but he's definitely going to get a very strong mare from us.”

Leading the horses-in-training was lot 19, Blue Prince (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) who sold to Gary Hignett and Angela Turner's G & A Racing for 52,000gns. The winner, consigned by Richard Fahey's Musley Bank Stables, is a great grandson of G3 Ballyogan S. heroine Lidanna (GB) (Nicholas).

“We were driving but I could watch the sale on my mobile and we're really pleased,” said Turner. “Gary and myself had horses separately before but now we're living together and we've made G and A Racing. Gary found the horse online and we've just retired one of our horses so we were looking for a replacement. We might see if there's some all-weather stuff for him but mainly we'll get him sparked up for the next turf season.”

The top price for a race filly on the day was 40,000gns, as Dan Astbury and Stockton Hall snapped up Soldier Of Fortune (Ire) 4-year-old Final Escape (Ire) (lot 26). A half-sister to G1 Slaney Novice Hurdle second Last Encounter (Ire) (Beneficial {GB}), the dark bay was consigned by Canterbrook Stud and had finished second on her bumper debut last month.

At the conclusion of the sale, 45 of the 89 lots (51%) had sold for an aggregate of 411,200gns. The average was 9,138gns and the median was 3,400gns.

Best of all was the victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for the unbeaten Ace Impact (Ire), a member of the first crop of Cracksman (GB). That stellar performance was backed up by a first-crop Group 1 winner for Blue Point (Ire), who is leading the first-season sires' table and supplied the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner, Rosallion (Ire), a homebred for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid. Furthermore, the hugely likeable Highfield Princess (Fr) gained yet another Group 1 success in the Prix de l'Abbaye, and the daughter of Night Of Thunder (Ire) could head next to the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita.

“To have three Group 1 winners by the stallions without Dubawi being one of them was new territory for us,” admits Sam Bullard, Darley's director of stallions.

“Ace Impact has been a high-profile 3-year-old through the whole summer. Obviously we were rooting for him and, by God, he was good. I watched it with [Cracksman's breeders] the Oppenheimers and they were so thrilled. It was lovely to see.

“Cracksman was obviously very good, and is the highest-rated son of Frankel, and he has had four 2-year-old winners since Sept. 16, so that is important too. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but there is plenty to back it up. Definitely his best book of mares was in 2023, too.”

With Blue Point out in front on 39 individual winners, he looks unlikely to be caught in the freshman championship, but Darley's Too Darn Hot (GB) has also made an eye-catching start with his first runners, and now has four group winners to his name.

“Too Darn Hot's runners were never going to be precocious but sure enough, once he got to August and September, away he went,” Bullard adds.

“It's been a long time coming but we are so lucky to see this success for sons of Dubawi and Shamardal. Earthlight's yearlings sold well last week in Goffs and we have Pinatubo's first yearlings here as well, and Ghaiyyath.

“It's been great to see both Dubawi and Shamardal do well for other studs too, with Lope De Vega, and Zarak for the Aga Khan. There are plenty of them and I think that's what really excites our principal, the idea that he's got horses who really are breed-shaping, who are making a difference to the long term of the breed. That really gives him a buzz.”

On the back of Blue Point's success this year, Darley will soon launch a “ground-breaking” feature on its website which will facilitate the sale of select breeding rights in its stallions. The project will launch on the weekend of the Darley Dewhurst S., with a breeding right in Blue Point the first to come onto the market.

“We have an auction site on the MyDarley website for any breeders who want to register,” Bullard explains.

“There are no breeding rights in Blue Point at the moment. There will never be more than 30, but we're going to sell one, and if there's a demand, we'll sell more.”

Darley will release further details on this unique feature in the coming weeks.

The bay, who stood for £4,000 this term, already has 13 winners this season to lead the European first-crop sires by that metric. He also sired the G2 Norfolk S. hero Perfect Power (Ire) at Royal Ascot, and another colt, Vintage Clarets (GB), ran third at that meeting in the G2 Coventry S.

“Ardad has made a remarkable start,” said Player. “Lots of winners, yes, but I am especially impressed by their quality. Six juvenile runners at Royal Ascot is great going, and Perfect Power looks like a colt with a big future. They've got such incredibly sound minds. I'm really looking forward to breeding to him in the years ahead.”

The breeding right in Ardad is the first breeding right to be offered in an online sale in Britain or Ireland. In 2021, the stallion enjoyed a busy breeding season, covering 152 mares.

Added Overbury Stud Manager Simon Sweeting, “I'm delighted that the breeding right has been bought by as successful a commercial breeder as Whatton Manor Stud. It is a tremendous endorsement of what Ardad's first crop have achieved so far.”

Schiaparelli (Ger) gelding Sir Jackschiaparel (Ire) (lot 25) brought the second highest price at 29,000gns. Richenda Ford Racing snapped up the winning point-to-pointer from the consignment of E. Holden's Coolmean Stables.

The gross for the 29 lots sold (42%) was 274,300gns. The average was 9,459gns and the median was 4,200gns.

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Tattersalls Online has quickly established itself as Europe's leading online platform and the catalogue for the Tattersalls Online June 29th Sale was the largest yet, reflecting the confidence that both vendors and buyers have in our online product. We were delighted to be the first online platform in Britain or Ireland to host the sale of a breeding right and we are confident that the sale of the breeding right to Ardad will be the first of many that we offer on Tattersalls Online.”
