ACCLAMATION’S (Royal Applause) emergence as a valuable source of stallion sons was perhaps unexpected.

Leading international sire Dark Angel heads his roll of honour, a juvenile Group 1-winner whose potential the O’Callaghans identified when securing him for their Yeomanstown Stud at the end of that season. Now they have added one of Acclamation’s grandsons to their roster, Supremacy, the best first-crop son of rising star Mehmas.
