SATURDAY’S racing in Australia provided quite a lot of good news for European-based stallions. Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) had two stakes winners, while Harry Angel (Dark Angel) and Starspangledbanner (Choisir) chipped in with one each.

Rivellino and Arabian Summer were in sizzling form as the son and daughter of Too Darn Hot won blacktype races within hours of each other in Sydney and Melbourne. The juvenile Rivellino defied a wide draw and a big field on just his second start to score a brilliant win in the Listed Inglis Millennium over five and a half furlongs at Royal Randwick. An hour and a half later, Arabian Summer got up in the shadows of the winning post to land the Group 3 Peter Le Grand Stakes over the same trip for three-year-old fillies at Caulfield.
