Open day at Dalham Hall Stud

Darley stallions on show on Thursday, 3 February

Coinciding with the February Sale at Tattersalls, Darley is hosting an open day at Dalham Hall Stud on Thursday, 3 February from 11am to 3pm.

All seven resident stallions will be on show, including one of the most exciting young stallions in Europe – Dubawi, sire of Classic winner Makfi among his five individual Group One winners.

He is joined by two Derby winners: Authorized, who will have his first runners in 2011, and New Approach, the unbeaten Champion two-year-old who also broke the track record when winning the Champion Stakes.

Four-time Group One winner Shirocco, who made such a promising start with his two-year-olds last year, is available to view alongside Halling, the broodmare sire of new Darley sire, the Kildangan Stud resident Vale Of York, and a regular source of top-class middle-distance gallopers.

Kheleyf (pictured) and Exceed And Excel both made excellent starts at stud and have continued to sire tough and precocious stock. Kheleyf stands in England for the first time, having been transferred from Kildangan, while the Aussie sprinting star Exceed And Excel has just returned from a season in the southern hemisphere.

Refreshments will be available at the stud. Please call Dawn Laidlaw or the nominations team on 01638 730070 for further information.
