Rosemont Sextet for Too Darn Hot’s Southern Hemisphere Book

[Wandering Eyes]

Newly crowned Australian champion first-season sire Too Darn Hot (GB) may not be shuttling to Australia this year but he will still be covering a number of mares to southern hemisphere time in Newmarket 

Those to be visiting the son of Dubawi (Ire) at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud include a sextet from Anthony Mithen and Ryan McEvoy's Rosemont Stud in Victoria.

“We are actually sending more mares to him than we would've had he shuttled,” said Mithen.

Three of that group, who are all currently in foal to the Aga Khan Studs stallion Siyouni (Fr), are already in Europe and will return to Australia once those foals are on the ground and they are scanned in foal to Too Darn Hot. Boarding at Tweenhills Stud, they are the Group 3 winners Aryaaf (Aus) (Epaulette {Aus}), Khulaasa (Aus) (Epaulette {Aus}) and Sneaky Five (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

En route from Australia and set to remain in Europe for two seasons is the other group of three, which is comprised of the I Am Invincible Spirit (Aus) mares Salateen (Aus), a Listed winner, and Skidamarink (Aus), as well as Joyous Legend (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}), a daughter of the multiple Group 1 winner More Joyous (NZ) (More Than Ready).

“It was a bit of a happy coincidence that the three mares already in Europe all match up very well with Too Darn Hot,” Mithen continued.

“He has done well with a Fastnet Rock mare, [with] Simmering winning the G3 Princess Margaret Stakes and his best Australian runner Broadsiding is out of a mare whose dam is by Redoute's Choice.

“So there is some science in our matings to Too Darn Hot. It has been good to build up a relationship with Darley and we are very pleased and excited that they have accepted our six mares into Too Darn Hot's book.”
