Darley Sets 2006 European Fees

Darley Stud has released its fees for 2006 with Cape Cross and new boy Shamardal heading the list at Kildangan Stud, Ireland at fees of �50,000 and �40,000 respectively. Over at Dalham Hall Stud, Newmarket Singspiel holds sway at �35,000 from newcomer Dubawi at �25,000 the same as Red Ransom and Tiger Hill. Read further down the list and you come to Exceed And Excel at �7,500 and Reset �7,000. Currently in Australia this season Shamardal is covering at $55,000 the same as Exceed and Excel and above that of Cape Cross $44,000. Reset`s fee has been set at $33,000 some $11,000 more than Tiger Hill. Dubawi, Shamardal and Tiger Hill will be joined by other newcomers Doyen and and Zafeen under the Darley banner in 2006. `We have two of the very best three-year-olds in Europe retiring this year,` said Sam Bullard, Darley`s head of nominations, `And they`re joining young stallions of outstanding merit in Cape Cross and Singspiel. Add to them the likes of Tiger Hill Red Ransom Halling King`s Best, plus three of Europe`s best sires of juveniles in Bertolini, Xaar and Mark Of Esteem, and you can see that we`re assembling a roster that no serious breeder can afford to ignore.` Bullard also alluded to the recent strength of the yearling market. `There is no question, this is a good time to be breeding top-class racing prospects. The Darley roster is all about quality and, as ever, we will be doing our utmost to help breeders with high-class mares fulfil their ambitions.` All Darley`s fees are at October 1st, Special Live Foal terms.
