Too Darn Hot fund-raising nomination to headline Inglis August (Late) Online Sale

The final nomination of the 2025 season to Darley shuttle sire Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) will be offered at the Inglis Digital August (Late) Online Sale to raise funds for the CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust.

The initiative, a collaboration between Godolphin, Watership Down Stud and CatWalk, will see all proceeds go directly towards research to improve the lives of people living with spinal cord injuries.

“Too Darn Hot has all the attributes of an outstanding stallion,” Godolphin Australia managing director Andy Makiv said. “He returns to Australia after a season off and is almost impossible to get access to given his achievements and popularity. 

“To support CatWalk with the last available nomination before the breeding season starts is something we are very proud to be part of.”

Too Darn Hot was bred and is co-owned by Watership Down Stud, the UK operation of Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber. The son of Dubawi (Dubai Millenium) stands at Darley’s Dalham Hall in Britain, and in Australia has sired champion juvenile and four-time Group 1 winner Broadsiding as well as nine other stakes winners. 

Simon Marsh, general manager of Watership Down Stud, said the stallion’s back-to-back champion sire titles in Australia place him in elite company. 

“To offer a nomination to a stallion of this calibre and, in doing so, help raise funds for something so important feels like the right way to give back,” he said. 

The nomination will be Lot 1 of the auction, which takes place from August 22–27.
