Darley Australia have announced their 2025 stallion roster. Featuring a line-up of elite stallions.
This year’s roster features two exciting first-season sires in Broadsiding and Traffic Warden with 12 other world-class stallions including Champion Two- and Three-Year-Olds, World Champion Sprinters and Champion Milers.
Too Darn Hot, who has made the strongest start to a stud career this century, heads the roster at $275,000 as previously announced. Leading the new additions is Broadsiding, his four-time Group 1 winning son, who will stand at $66,000. A Champion Two-Year-Old and dual Group 1-winning Three-Year-Old.
Anamoe, nine-time Group 1 winner and Horse of the Year, will stand at $110,000. A Group 1 winner at two, three and four, Anamoe has garnered great support since retiring to stud, covering 19 Group 1 winners, 82 Group winners, and 127 Stakes winners along with the dams of 18 Group 1 winners in his first two books.
Darley’s roster draws further strength from the remarkable Street Cry sire line, with Street Boss standing at $66,000. Street Boss is enjoying another banner season headlined by recent Group 2 Percy Sykes winner Tempted.
Joining him is his son, exciting newcomer Traffic Warden who will stand at $22,000. The eye-catching colt was a Group 2 winner at two and three and was defeated by a short head and a head in the Group 1 Sires’ Produce Stakes and Group 1 Golden Rose, respectively.
Harry Angel, Australia’s leading shuttle stallion will stand at $66,000. A World Champion Sprinter and the leading third-crop sire in the country, Harry Angel is the youngest stallion in the top 10 of the General Sires Table and one of the most sought-after stallions in the country right now.
Two of Exceed And Excel’s most accomplished sons are Bivouac at $55,000, the fastest first-crop stallion to sire two Group winners since his sire, and the 2024 Group 1 Newmarket winner Cylinder at $44,000.
Pinatubo, standing at $38,500, saw his first yearlings sell for up to $700,000 this season. His paternal half-brother Victor Ludorum ($11,000) was a Group 1 winner at both two and three.
Brazen Beau ($33,000) has added Group 1 Thousand Guineas winner Another Prophet to last season’s Group 1 Galaxy winner Zapateo, reinforcing his status as I Am Invincible’s best sire son. Native Trail, Europe’s unbeaten Champion Two-Year-Old, stands at $27,500 and hails from the same influential Green Desert sire line.
Paulele, a five-time Group winner and WFA Group 1 performer, has had his fee reduced to $11,000 whilst Kermadec at $13,750, continues to outperform his peers, boasting a strike rate of Group 1 winners that surpasses many of the most commercial names in the country.
“This is an outstanding group of stallions – a world-class line-up,” said Darley’s Head of Stallions, Alastair Pulford.
“The results they’ve achieved this year, both in the yearling market and on the racetrack, have been incredibly encouraging. These fees reflect the success we’ve seen and have been set with breeders firmly in mind.”
