Darley has confirmed that Broadsiding, one of the stars of James Cummings’ stable, will retire to stud in 2025 and stand at their Kelvinside property. The son of Too Darn Hot bows out after an impressive career highlighted by four Group 1 victories from seven total wins in 15 starts.
His final race came in last weekend’s All Aged Stakes, where he finished 10th behind Jimmysstar. However, it was his victory in the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) that cemented his place among the elite, following previous wins in the Golden Rose, Champagne Stakes, and J J Atkins.
Broadsiding will stand for a service fee of $66,000 (inc GST) at Kelvinside in the Hunter Valley, joining a powerful group of stallions that includes Too Darn Hot, Anamoe, Harry Angel, and Bivouac. He is joined by new recruit Traffic Warden, a dual Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter, who will stand for $22,000.
“This is an outstanding group of stallions – a world-class line-up,” said Alastair Pulford, head of stallions at Darley.
“The results they’ve achieved this year, both in the yearling market and on the racetrack, have been incredibly encouraging.
“These fees reflect the success we’ve seen and have been set with breeders firmly in mind.”
Too Darn Hot remains the marquee sire at $275,000, while Anamoe has had his fee adjusted to $110,000. Harry Angel sees a jump from $38,500 to $66,000, and Bivouac’s fee holds steady at $55,000.
Additional sires standing at Kelvinside include Pinatubo ($38,500), Native Trail ($27,500), and Victor Ludorum ($11,000).
Northwood Park in Seymour is once again headlined by Street Boss at $66,000, with Cylinder at $44,000. Brazen Beau stands at $27,500, Kermadec at $13,750, and Paulele rounds out the roster at $11,000.
