Broadsiding pressed his claims for Australian 2YO-Of-The-Year honours on Saturday, 1 June with an impressive victory in the Group 2 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes over 1,400m at Eagle Farm.
The handsome son of boom Darley first-season sire Too Darn Hot overcame a wide draw and a wet wet track to post his third Black-Type victory.
Winner of the Listed Fernhill Mile and G1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick in April, Broadsiding swooped on the leaders in the final 200m after turning for home with only a couple of horses behind him.
With Jamie Kah riding only hands and heels, Broadsiding beat Zouna by a length with Too Darn Hot gelding Superalloy (out of Oria by Medaglia d’Oro) a long neck away in third place.
Following the race jockey Jamie Kah said: “Even good horses shouldn’t win like he (Broadsiding) did then ‘cause he had no favours at all, and he’s all class.”
Trained by James Cummings and out of the Australian mare Speedway by Street Cry, Broadsiding improved his record to three wins and two placings from just six starts and now looks top fancy for the G1 JJ Atkins Stakes (1,600m) at Eagle Farm on 15 June.
In the past month, Boiling Point (Newmarket), Hot Darling (Vichy), Darnation (Dusseldorf) and G1 Irish One Thousand Guineas queen Fallen Angel are Stakes-winning progeny of Too Darn Hot.
The stallion was the former two-year-old champion colt of Europe in 2018 and a triple G1 winner.
Too Darn Hot has been very popular at stud and in the sales rings, with the stallion already the sire of 51 winners of 79 races worldwide – including eight Stakes winners of 14 Black-Type events.
Lots by Too Darn Hot sold at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for up to $1.9 million in January.
Too Darn Hot will shuttle back to Kelvinside in the NSW Hunter Valley this season to stand for a service fee of $110,000 (GST inclusive).
