BROADSIDING gave Darley’s shuttle stallion Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) his first Group 1 winner in the southern hemisphere when he overcame heavy conditions on Saturday to win the Champagne Stakes over a mile at Royal Randwick on the colt’s fifth start.

In second-last spot until approaching the home turn, Broadsiding surged down the centre of the track to beat Linebacker by three-quarters of a length, with the rest nearly five lengths and more in arrears. Just a week earlier, and at the same venue, the James Cummings-trained juvenile won for the first time when impressing with the manner of his victory in the Listed Fernhill Mile.
