Royallieu winner and Group 1 Prix Royal Oak third Dalara, the dam of Group 1 Hong Kong Vase and Coronation Cup winner Daliapour and his full-brother Dalampour, winner of the Group 3 Queen’s Vase.
Delsy is also the dam of Listed winners Daraydan and Dabara and the Group 3-placed Dalal.
Too Darn Hot features some balanced inbreeding to the highly influential mare Sunbittern through her daughters High Hawk, dam of Singspiel’s sire In The Wings, and High Tern, the third dam of Dubawi.
He is also the fastest of his siblings as his two full-sisters both excelled over further trips than his optimum mile, while dam
Dar Re Mi and her siblings were also more stoutly bred. Although he was a miler, he is somewhat of an outlier in his family and may be capable of producing offspring with more stamina than he possessed.
Dubawi is the sire of 2019’s European champion first-season sire Night Of Thunder, which is very encouraging for breeders in line to use Too Darn Hot.
Night Of Thunder is out of a Galileo mare but he has no record of success yet with daughters of Singspiel, although inbreeding to Sadler’s Wells has become more apparent with Enable inbred 3x2 to the great patriarch.
Singspiel has sired one runner, a winner, out of a Montjeu mare, which creates the same 3x3 to Sadler’s Wells as would Galileo.
With Sadler’s Wells coming in on the
fifth generation of Too Darn Hot’s foals through him, any daughters of Galileo, who
is successful when creating inbreeding to
Mr. Prospector through Galileo’s dam-sire Miswaki and a son of Mr. Prospector on the dam’s side, would come into the reckoning for Too Darn Hot.
Dubawi, too, works well with multiples
of Mr. Prospector and has Group 1 winners Postponed, New Bay and Zarak with mares by Mr. Prospector-line sires.
Broodmare sire Singspiel has done very well with Dubawi, but his daughters have also enjoyed success when crossed with Danehill and his sons, while his daughters have clicked with Mr. Prospector-line stallions.
The Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile winner Suedois is out of Cup Cake, a dam by Singspiel, crossed with Le Havre, a grand-s0n of Singspiel’s half-brother Rahy.
Rahy is also the broodmare sire of Giant’s Causeway so perhaps bringing in that inbreeding to Glorious Song through his daughters and his son Shamardal may be worth exploring as Dubawi has Group winners Ispolini and Universal and Listed

The first horse to win two Group 1 races at one Royal Ascot meeting, Blue Point was one of the stars of 2019 and is by a sire who shone brighter than ever last season.
Blue Point was quick, classy and precocious and maintained his form at the highest level for four seasons.
He began his racing career for Godolphin by winning a 6f novice on his debut and quickly followed up with victory in a similar race before running a close second to Mehmas in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes.
Sent to York for the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes, he defeated a field that included The Last Lion and Ardad.
A step-up to Group 1 competition in the Middle Park Stakes followed and a fight with The Last Lion for victory ensued – that was won by the Choisir colt with Blue Point in second and turning the tables from
Goodwood on Mehmas.
Blue Point ended the season by finishing
third to Churchill in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes over a stamina-sapping 7f.
A sprinting campaign was the aim for his three-year-old season and the colt got off to a flying start winning the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot and beating Harry Angel before taking third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot behind Caravaggio and Harry Angel.
He was fourth to Harry Angel in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup before ending his season with a narrow win in the Group 3 Bengough Stakes at Ascot.
He wintered in Dubai and returned to England after a second placing in the Group 2 Meydan Sprint and an outing at Sha Tin.
Blue Point’s first run of the European season came at Royal Ascot in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes, the race in which he made the breakthrough into elite company with a commanding victory over Battaash and Mab’s Cross.
He ran three times in England that summer and was third to Alpha Delphini and Mab’s Cross in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes.
