Darley Announce 2021 European Fees

Tara Madgwick - Monday November 9

Darley’s 2021 roster is topped by Dubawi, who stands at a fee of 250,000 pounds and also features the usual favourites as well as three outstanding newcomers in Pinatubo, Ghaiyyath and Earthlight with most fees reduced to support the breeder.

Liam O’Rourke, Director of Stud, Stallions & Breeding, said, “We know that breeders are facing unpredictable times and have reflected this in our fees, in Europe and the United States.”

Darley stallions in Europe were responsible for the winners of 107 individual Stakes races including 16 at the highest level in 2020. They include many top races: the QEII, the Prince Of Wales’s, the Juddmonte International, the Eclipse and the Coronation Cup. Just a few weeks ago, Darley stallions were responsible for the first two home in two juvenile G1 contests – within the space of just five minutes.

O’Rourke added: “We’ve aimed to be supportive in our approach for 2021 and we trust breeders can take advantage of what we believe is our strongest roster ever – yet one that is keenly priced.

“We are thankful to all the breeders who have used our stallions in the past and we look forward to offering them the best opportunities for the future.

“We have three very exciting new stallions joining the ranks, giving us every confidence that 2021 and beyond will see more success.”

Darley has reduced fees for most stallions, with over a third having fees trimmed by 25% or more.
