RETIRED in 2017 to the Aga Khan’s Haras de Bonneval in Normandy was Dariyan, a handsome bay son of Shamardal. He was the champion older horse in France over 10 furlongs in the previous year, after defeating Silverwave in the Group 1 Prix Ganay. Unraced as a two-year-old, Dariyan scored in the important Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam at three and he was placed in Group 1 events in both his seasons in training with Alain de Royer Dupre.
