Darara (Ire) (Top Ville {Ire}) was responsible for Diaghilev (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), a 3.4million guineas purchase at the Houghton Sale here 13 years ago and subsequently the 2004 G1 QEII Cup winner when renamed River Dancer (Ire). His half-brother Rewilding (GB) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) annexed the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic and G1 Prince of Wales's S. and she was also to produce the triple Group 1 winner Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). It was that Watership Down Stud flag-bearer's first foal by Oasis Dream (GB) who lit up early trading during Tattersalls October Day 3 when selling to Charlie Gordon-Watson for 850,000 guineas. “He's got a stallion's pedigree through and through it's the best pedigree in the book, he's a special horse,” he said after seeing off Tom Goff and Angus Gold. “He's for a relatively new client, and I don't know where he'll be trained–hopefully, he'll stay in the UK.”
