Sea The Stars (by Cape Cross) got a pattern winner among his first juveniles, King’s Best (by Kingmambo) was represented by the dual Group 1 star Sajjhaa, Black Sam Bellamy (by Sadler’s Wells) had the Group 1 scorer Earl Of Tinsdal, while Tamayuz (by Nayef) and Anabaa Blue (by Anabaa) had pattern winners.

Each of these stallions is related, as they are all descendents of Allegretta (by Lombard) and so too is Darley’s new recruit Masterstroke (by Monsun), the horse who finished third behind Solemia and Orfevre in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 2012.
