In his first southern hemisphere crop, Darley Australia’s shuttle stallion Too Darn Hot has sired a Group 1 winner, with Broadsiding too strong in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick.

Champion jockey James McDonald weaved his way into the clear shortly after turning for home, and utilised the final 300 metres of the race to chase down a gallant Linebacker.

Broadsiding is Too Darn Hot’s second Group 1 winner, joining Fallen Angel, who won the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh in Ireland.

Too Darn Hot joins Tassort (Manaal) and Royal Meeting (Hayasugi) as first-season stallions to sire a two-year-old Group 1 winner this season.
