Aga Khan stallions continue to be very popular at the sales with offspring by leading second season sire Daylami making up to $525,000 at Keeneland, and yearlings by first crop sire Kalanisi making up to 70,000 Guineas (105,000 Euros).

A Daylami filly, the only one by her sire selling at the Keeneland September sales, was knocked down to Nicoma bloodstock for $525,000. She is out of an unraced Unbridled daughter to Stakes winner Aurora, from an excellent family.

Following Daylami’s phenomenal early success as a sire, yearlings by fellow Gilltown resident Kalanisi (by Doyoun, sire of Daylami) are proving very popular in the sales ring. One such yearling was a brown colt out of Perugia, bought by Neville Callaghan for 70,000 Guineas. Kalanisi’s yearlings to date have sold for a most respectable average of €58,808.
