Darley To Offer Seven European-Based Stallions On Southern Hemisphere Time

Classic winner and Group 1 sire Night Of Thunder (Ire) is one of seven European-based Darley stallions available on Southern Hemisphere time whose fees were revealed on Thursday.

Set to stand for €50,000 at Kildangan Stud in Ireland, the son of Dubawi (Ire) sired his first international Group 1 winner with Kukeracha (NZ) from his only Australasian-bred crop. Former shuttler Palace Pier (GB) leads the way at Dalham Hall Stud at £25,000; and roster veteran and fellow former shuttle stallion Iffraaj (GB), who has accounted for 11 Group 1 winners in the Southern Hemisphere, will stand for £10,000.

The septet and their fees are as follows:

Dalham Hall Stud:
Palace Pier (GB) – £25,000
Cracksman (GB) – £17,500
Masar (Ire) – £12,500
Iffraaj (GB) – £10,000

Kildangan Stud:
Night Of Thunder (Ire) – €50,000
Space Blues (Ire) – €15,000
Naval Crown (GB) – €10,000

Sam Bullard, Darley's Director of Stallions, said, “We are pleased to be able to offer Southern Hemisphere breeders a great range, from top international proven stallions to younger commercial options. Night Of Thunder is doing as phenomenally well in Australia as he is here, and Palace Pier's first Australian crop is so well-bred, it's a near certainty that his second crop will be in great demand at the sales. As ever, our stallions are available to view by appointment, and we very much welcome visitors during the July Sales.”
