Sun Shines on Darley Victoria Parade

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 17

Darley Victoria were blessed with warm winner sunshine for their annual parade last Thursday presenting five stallions headed by the mighty Street Boss (USA), whose champion son Anamoe stands at their NSW base and will have his first yearlings selling in 2026.

Grant Courtney of Pao Ma Photos attended the parade and captured some gorgeous images, so enjoy!
