THE high class Australian sprinter Sidestep is one of seven Darley stallions covering in 2016 at the Haras du Logis in Normandy, where his companions include the successful sires Authorized, Manduro and Slickly, as well as another Group 1 winning newcomer, Hunter’s Light.

Sidestep, who was the champion two-year-old colt in Australia, began his stud career a few months ago at Kelvinside in Australia.
