DAREDEVIL was not a stallion about whom I knew a great deal before now. After six seasons at WinStar Farms in the USA, where his fee fell from an initial $12,500 in 2016 to $7,500 last year, he was sold, along with Super Saver, to the Jockey Club of Turkey in November.

Now based at one of their farms, Karacabey, where his fee this year was 12,500 Turkish lira or approximately €1,400, Daredevil was extremely popular and covered 125 mares.
