DARAIN (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the 2018 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 Sale topper, the son of the Watership Down Stud sensation Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) who is therefore a full-brother to the exceptional Too Darn Hot (GB) and to the pair of high-class distaffers So Mi Dar (GB) and Lah Ti Dar (GB).
