Devil Night Retired to Stud

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 15

Already a Group I winner of the MRC Blue Diamond Stakes last season when he famously defeated top class colt Tentyris, Devil Night was scratched from this weekend’s Group I BRC Doomben 10,000 and Yulong have now confirmed he will be retired to stud.

A son of the most expensive sire in the country in Extreme Choice, Devil Night was purchased by Yulong for $1.4million out of the Kingstar Farm draft at Magic Millions and heads to stud with the overall record of one win and four placings from nine starts with $1.7million in the bank.

His placings this preparation highlight the elite talent of Devil Night with a third placing in the Group I MVRC William Reid Stakes to Jigsaw and a second in the Group II ATC Arrowfield Sprint to champion filly Tempted.

No fee has been announced at this point in time.
