Introduction

Darley is HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's global breeding operation, which currently stands stallions in six countries around the world.

Darley Japan K.K. was established in June 2002, and the main business objective is to provide excellent stallion services in Japan by continually standing world-class stallions.

In 2012 Darley Japan will stand five stallions headed by Admire Moon, one of the leading first-crop sires in 2011. He joins the Japan Derby winner Deep Sky and G1-winning miler Pyro, both of whom will have first-crop yearlings this season. Completing the roster are two seasoned stallions, Storming Home, sire of two G1-winners, and Xaar, the sire of the 2011 G1-winning miler Xtension.

In addition to standing stallions, Darley also manages the racing interests of Sheikh Mohammed and various members of the Maktoum family, and has racehorses with various trainers in the UK, Ireland, France, the United States, Australia and Japan. The best of these horses will transfer to Godolphin, to race in the famous blue silks that have been carried to victory in numerous G1 races across the globe.
