Darley Australia announces 2025 stallion roster

“This is an outstanding group of stallions - a world-class line-up,” said Alastair Pulford, Head of Stallions at Darley.

Darley Australia is proud to announce its 2025 stallion roster. Featuring a line-up of elite stallions, Darley Australia offers a commitment to breeders, delivering world-class quality from a trusted brand. This year’s roster features two exciting first-season sires and 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 G1 winning son, who will stand at $66,000. A Champion Two-Year-Old and dual G1-winning Three-Year-Old, Broadsiding is the pre-eminent son of his phenomenal sire.

Anamoe, nine-time G1 winner and Horse of the Year, will stand at $110,000. A G1 winner at two, three and four, Anamoe has garnered great support since retiring to stud, covering 19 G1 winners, 82 Group winners, and 127 Stakes winners along with the dams of 18 G1 winners in his first two books. His first crop, now weanlings, are the talk of the Hunter Valley.

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 G2 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 G2 winner at two and three and was defeated by a short head and a head in the G1 Sires’ Produce Stakes and G1 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 G1 Newmarket winner Cylinder at $44,000. Both look set to carry on the legacy of their illustrious father.

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 G1 winner at both two and three. They represent the phenomenally successful Shamardal sire line.

Brazen Beau ($27,500) has added G1 Thousand Guineas winner Another Prophet to last season’s G1 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 G1 performer, has had his fee reduced to $11,000 whilst Kermadec at $13,750, continues to outperform his peers, boasting a strike rate of G1 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.”
