[Wandering Eyes]

A nomination to Darley's Too Darn Hot topped Wednesday's Inglis Digital August (Late) Online Sale when selling to Taisen Maddern for A$255,000.

The sale of the Too Darn Hot nomination was a collaboration between Godolphin, Watership Down Stud and CatWalk, with all proceeds going directly towards funding critical research to help those living with spinal cord injuries.

Maddern has earmarked his Street Boss mare Sliders to be the beneficiary of the Too Darn Hot nomination purchase.

“I actually had Sliders booked into Too Darn Hot last year, but when he didn't come out we obviously missed out,” said Maddern. “It's been hard to get into him, so I thought I'd just buy the nom when I saw it come online with Inglis Digital.

“Hopefully, this foal can be the next Broadsiding–that's the plan or the dream.”

Godolphin CEO Andy Makiv was delighted with the outcome.

“It's a wonderful result for Catwalk,” he added. “The Thoroughbred industry gets behind good causes and this is extremely important.

“Too Darn Hot has quickly stamped himself as an elite young sire and the level of support for this nomination shows the confidence breeders have in him and in the initiative.

“We're delighted that Taisen Maddern secured the nomination. He has been a great supporter and friend of Darley for many years and it came as no surprise that he bid more than anyone else.”
