Arrowfield Stud is backing its high-class sire The Autumn Sun, Australia’s premier stallion so far this season, with the 1.3 million guineas (A$2.745 million) purchase of a half-sister to Too Darn Hot.
Among the 13 million guinea lots sold on the second day at Tattersalls December Mares’ Sale was the Arrowfield-acquired Chere Darmoiselle, an unraced half-sister to champion dual-hemisphere stallion Too Darn Hot, Group 2 winner Lah Ti Dar and Group 3 winner So Mi Dar.
Chere Darmoiselle, who is in foal to Zarak to northern hemisphere time, is by the influential Juddmonte-based stallion Kingman.
