Darley shuttler Too Darn Hot (GB) is held in high regard in Australia and added a new feature winner to his tally overnight with interesting colt Title Role, who won the Group II German 2000 Guineas for the Coolmore partners.
Trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, Title Role was bought for 500,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale last year by bloodstock agent Jamie McCalmont and was a super successful pinhook having been sourced from Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2 for just 90,000 guineas.
The colt was a winner at Kempton at his second start at two and then campaigned in Dubai earlier this year where he won the Listed Jumeirah 2000 Guineas.
Ridden by Sean Levey for this assignment, Title Role ran out a length and a quarter winner as favourite.
Title Role has won four of seven starts and is the first stakes-winner among seven winners from Group III winner Valiant Girl, a sibling to Group winners Bronze Cannon, Across the Stars and to the dam of Group I winning stayer Courage Mon Ami.
Too Darn Hot is set to be Champion Australian Third Season sire following on from being Champion First and Second Crop sire here as well.
He stands at Darley this spring at a fee of $275,000.
