Teofilo to join Darley roster

Two-year-old Teofilo will stay at Kildangan Stud in County Kildare, Ireland, and become a member of Darley’s stallion list in 2008. Jackie and Jim Bolger will retain ownership of the Darley Dewhurst Stakes champion but they decided to retire him due to an injury that has not healed satisfactorily.

“I am delighted Mr and Mrs Bolger have decided to stand Teofilo at Kildangan Stud,” John Ferguson, Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock advisor said. “He was an outstanding two-year-old with the scope and quality to be a champion again at three. He will be a wonderful addition to the Darley roster.”

Mr. Bolger said he expects Teofilo’s stud career to be as illustrious as his racing career and he hopes one day he will become a champion sire. “I am a great admirer of Darley's professionalism and the way that they treat their clients; with their support I am extremely confident that Teofilo will be given every opportunity to excel in his stud career,” he finished.
