Dariyan

Son of Shamardal leading the two-year-old sires table. It has been a great end to the season for DARIYAN, whose flurry of winners this autumn has propelled him to the top of the table of leading sires of two-year-olds in Europe.

The second crop sire, a Group 1 winning son of sire of sires Shamardal, has the best juvenile winners to runners ratio (53%) of any stallion in Europe this year.

Mister Saint Paul

DARIYAN has scored nine two-year-old winners in total in 2021, headed by the Stakes winner MISTER SAINT PAUL, as well as impressive four-and-a-half-length debut winner Elizar (who will continue his career in the USA) and two-length winner Asgoodassobergets.

Most recently, Galaxie Gold won definitively first time out at Pau on 19th December, while on the same day Princess Dariya broke her maiden at Pornichet.

DARIYAN, who has also provided three Group horses from his first crop, is available to breeders for 5 000 € in 2022.
