World Champion sprinter Harry Angel to stand in Darley Australia in 2020
World champion sprinter Harry Angel will join the Darley roster in Australia from 2020 onwards, standing at Kelvinside.
Harry Angel began his stud career earlier this year at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket as the highest-rated sprinter to retire to stud in Britain for more than 30 years.
He has already proved extremely popular in the northern hemisphere and was oversubscribed during his first season.
At two, Harry Angel broke his maiden in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes, earning a rating 9lbs superior to his sire Dark Angel's achieved in the same race.
In a dazzling season at three, he won the Gr.1 July Cup and the Gr.1 Haydock Sprint Cup (taking the latter by the widest margin in recent history), has announced his presence among the top rank of sprinters in the G2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock.
He ended the year rated 132 by Timeform, level with Muhaarar, and the best by any sprinter to retire to stud in Britain since 1985.
The panel of international handicappers duly assessed him the world Champion sprinter, two points and more above Battaash, Chautauqua, Lady Aurelia, Redzel and Caravaggio.
Harry Angel is the best son of Dark Angel, is out of a daughter of fellow July Cup winner Cadeaux Genereux and possesses an outcross pedigree with just one line of Danzig in the fifth generation.
