I want to thank everyone for your efforts throughout 2013. It has been a year of some lows but many highs and we can all feel very proud of our efforts and achievements. We all know that Darley has many moving parts that work together with the aim of providing Sheikh Mohammed enjoyment from his horses and I encourage all of you to reflect on the successes that we have enjoyed in 2013. There were many great moments and achievements, such as: EXCEED AND EXCEL being crowned Champion sire in Australia and his homebred daughter Guelph victorious in four Group 1s. The feats of DAWN APPROACH, flying the flag for NEW APPROACH in carrying the Godolphin colours to win the 2,000 Guineas and the St James’s Palace Stakes. The brave win of FARHH in the QIPCO Champion Stakes for Godolphin, homebred in England and raised in Ireland. The ongoing development of our racing team in Japan, putting us in the top five of owners and breeders there. The win of ALPHA in the Woodward Stakes at Saratoga – an American homebred by Bernardini. A Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf win for OUTSTRIP – Australian sired (Exceed And Excel), American dam (Asi Siempre), homebred in England, raised in Ireland, pretrained by our team in England and a success for Godolphin. We have much to look forward to in 2014 – new crops of two year olds, three year olds with Classic chances, wonderful older horses, emerging stallions and, hopefully, plenty of success that we can all share and enjoy. We are spread far and wide and we are large in number – 1,221 of us today. To each of you, thank you so much for your efforts for Sheikh Mohammed over the last 12 months and, most importantly, I hope that you and your families enjoy a happy Christmas and a wonderful 2014.

John, who will join us in May 2014, grew up in a racing and farming family near Cairns in Queensland. He took out his training licence in Sydney in 1999 following years with legendary trainers Tommy Smith, Gai Waterhouse and Bart Cummings. John’s first G1 winner in 2002 was Shot Of Thunder and he has since had success at the highest level with horses such as six-time G1 winner Racing To Win; outstanding colts Foxwedge and Charge Forward; and multiple G1-winning fillies Private Steer and Sea Siren. A family man, John is married to Isabelle and has four children. We look forward to welcoming him next year. Good luck Peter Snowden has been our Head Trainer in Australia since our acquisition of the Woodlands operation in 2008. Peter recently decided to leave Darley in 2014 to set up his own training stable with his son, Paul. Peter has achieved many milestones during his time with us, including recording a clean sweep of Australia’s two-year-old G1 races in 2010/11 where Champion Sepoy won the Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper and Helmet won the Sires’ Produce and Champagne Stakes. In February this year Peter trained his 1,000th winner for Sheikh Mohammed, a number that has since climbed to 1,190 and includes 190 Stakes wins and 27 Group 1 wins. We wish Peter and the Snowden family all our very best for the future and thank him for all his hard work and dedication for the past six years.
