The significance of Too Darn Hot returning to shuttling duties after a 12-month absence can’t be underestimated.
Godolphin confirmed late on Tuesday that, after weeks of speculation which reached fever pitch at the Inglis Easter sale, Too Darn Hot would indeed rejoin Darley’s stallion roster at Kelvinside in 2025.
His considerable fee of $275,000 (inc GST) puts him in the upper echelon of stallion talent and in the same realms of Australia’s top sires Extreme Choice, Zoustar, I Am Invincible and Snitzel.
That’s not to say he hasn’t earned it, with his first Australian-conceived crop producing nine stakes winners, headed by Godolphin’s own champion two-year-old and now four-time Group 1-winning colt Broadsiding.
