News - CHARYN (IRE)

Dark Angel’s brilliant son Almeraq was a shade too good for reigning Champion Australian Sprinter Joliestar in the Group I Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot this year and he added a second G1 trophy to his record overnight when taking out the Haydock Sprint Cup (6f) with a commanding performance.

The world’s best miler in 2024, glorious grey stallion Charyn (IRE) is bringing the Dark Angel sireline to New Zealand this spring and judging by the Australian experience with this bloodline Kiwi broodmare owners are entitled to be feeling more than a little excited.

Four exciting new additions to New Zealand’s stallion ranks will add further interest to an outstanding line-up when the Gavelhouse.com Waikato Stallion Parade returns this weekend.

Cambridge Stud has announced its stallion roster for 2026, with the outstanding Charyn (IRE) to stand at the farm in partnership with Nurlan Bizakov’s French operation Sumbe.
