Darley Announce 2026 Euro Fees

Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 6

Darley stallions have already made an impression at Flemington this week with Ghaiyyath (IRE) giving us Victoria Derby hero Observer, plus another stakes-winner Different Gravy and Too Darn Hot (GB) siring 2YO G3 winner Tornado Valley, so what are their NH fees in 2026?

Too Darn Hot, who is standing in the Hunter Valley this spring at a fee of $275,000. has been given a slight fee increase rising from £90,000 to £100,000, while Ghaiyyath, who did not shuttle to Australia this year, remains at €20,000.

Too Darn Hot (GB) is an important young sire for Darley.

Veteran champion sire Dubawi, now 23 years old, tops the roster at £350,000, the same as last year with Night of Thunder next best on €200,000.

New stallions this year include Blue Point’s G1 winning miler Rosallion at £40,000, Lope de Vega’s Champion 2YO Shadow of Light at €17,500 at and Shamardal’s G1 winning sprinter Inisherin at £12,500.

Several of the stallions are currently in Australia.

Harry Angel (IRE) remains at a fee of  £10,000, considerably less than his Australian fee of $66,000, while Pinatubo (IRE) has been given a big reduction dropping from £30,000 to £17,500.

Pinatubo had his first stakes-placed Aussie 2YO on Tuesday when Tales of Time finished second in the Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate.
