Dalakhani, Cartier Horse of the Year in 2003, has had his first mares successfully scanned in foal. They include 2002 and 2003 Prix de Diane runners up Dance Routine and Time Ahead. Dance Routine is also a dual Group II winner and a half sister to the promising Apsis, an unbeaten 2yo Group winner last year. By Spectrum, Time Ahead is herself a half sister to Time Away and grand daughter of champion race mare, Time Charter. The Aga Khan owned Kadaka, a Stakes winning half sister to Kahyasi, was also among the first mares scanned in foal to Dalakhani, as is Dal Segno - a Darley owned winning half sister to Heron Island, out of a half sister to Darshaan.

Dalakhani was the highest rated two year old colt in France in 2002 following three straight wins, culminating in the Group I Critérium International. He went on to become Champion European three year old with victories in the Prix Lupin, Prix du Jockey-Club and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, before being retired to Gilltown Stud in Ireland.
