Darley release fees: Broadsiding and Traffic Warden to Kelvinside

Darley Australia has unveiled its 2025 stallion fees, with several key adjustments across its roster to reflect market dynamics, racetrack results and commercial demand.

New to the line-up is Broadsiding, who will stand for $66,000. The four-time G1 winner is the first son of Too Darn Hot (GB) to go to stud and arrives with serious credentials as a Champion Two- and Three-Year-Old. He’s joined by fellow freshman Traffic Warden for $22,000 inc. GST, a son of Street Boss (USA), who was narrowly beaten in both the G1 Sires’ Produce and G1 Golden Rose after a standout juvenile season.

Too Darn Hot, who has made an incredible start to stud, heads the roster at $275,000 as he returns after a year not shuttling.

Here’s a breakdown of the notable changes for the 2025 season:

🔼 Fee Increases

Harry Angel – $66,000 (up from $38,500)

Australia’s leading third-crop sire and the youngest stallion in the top 10 of the General Sires Table sees a significant rise, following sustained racetrack success and market demand.
