Sam Bullard, Darley's director of stallions, said: “To have three stallions of the calibre of Blue Point, Night Of Thunder and Too Darn Hot is a source of immense pride to the whole team, particularly as they are sons of our own breed-shapers Dubawi and Shamardal.

“Our roster provides breeders with a wealth of choices for their mares, from our proven sires to exciting young stallions, and we look forward to showing them in the coming months.”
