Daryl’s Joy’s sales reps.

The New Zealand-bred Daryl’s Joy, a Group One winner in three countries, will have representatives of his first Australian-bred

crop through the ring at the Victorian Thoroughbred Yearling Sale next week.

He was the champion colt at two years in New Zealand, winning seven races and being placed in seven others.

Syd Brown campaigned him in Australia as a three-year-old, with spectacular results. He won the Victoria Derby and W. S. Cox Plate in style and beat the Austra-lian-bred champion, Vain, in the Moonee Valley Stakes. He was sold as a four-year-old and was sent to the United States, where in 11 starts he won six times up to a mile and a half.

On retirement in 1973 with a record of 16 wins and 13 platings from 30 starts he stood at Hooper Farms in Florida, where he sired the winners of over $3 million.

One of the most interesting of the Daryl’s Joy representatives in the Victorian catalogue is a filly from the Better Boy mare, Canto, a winner and a sister of Craftsman, winner of 21 races including the Victoria

Derby and the Australian Cup twice; and Shorengro, whose nine wins included the Moonee Valley club’s John Feehan Stakes three times.
