Too Darn Hot (GB) fresh from siring his first Group 1 winner last weekend with 2yo filly FALLEN ANGEL,

his daughter DARNATION stamped her authority when making it back-to-back Group Wins with an authoritative display in claiming the Group 2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster.
DARNATION
Darnation was ridden by Clifford Lee and swept to a dominant three length win as favourite and has now recorded three wins from four starts.
With an official TimeForm rating of 102, Darnation clearly set that standard on the back of her previous win in the Group 3 Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood last month and she was sent off the 11/10 favourite to record a first Group 2 victory.
Having travelled kindly throughout under her jockey, the daughter of TOO DARN HOT soon found herself in front with a furlong and a half to run and she produced a smart turn of foot to quickly take a few lengths out of her rivals. See The Fire (4/1) emerged as the sole danger as she began to hunt Darnation but Karl Burke's filly never in danger and was three lengths in front crossing the line. Les Bleus (14/1) finished a further four lengths back in third.
"She tries hard and loves these conditions," winning rider Clifford Lee told ITV Racing.
"It was obviously the first time over the mile, but she's seen the trip out very well. She's done everything right.
"I mean look that was a mile there and I'd definitely go for the Guineas [1000] and you wouldn't want to be writing her off. Hopefully, she'll strengthen out a little bit, so she'll be a bit stronger for next year."
Trainer Karl Burke, who landed that prize in 2017 courtesy of multiple Group 1 winner Laurens, was not at the track but said: "She's a classy filly, on that ground (soft) she's very good. We'll have to see how she is on quicker ground but she's tough, she stays and she's just very good.
"She's not in the Fillies' Mile but she is in the Gr1 Prix Marcel Boussac. I haven't spoken to the owners, but she'd be more likely to get her ground in France.
"Who knows about next year? She's not the biggest in the world, but she should strengthen up even if she doesn't grow much and if she bumps into soft ground, she could be anything.
"On fast ground Fallen Angel (the Gr1 winning Too Darn Hot filly also trained by Karl) would be in front of her, but ground is the key to this filly."
A homebred for Newtown Anner Stud, Darnation is the first winner for Monday Monday, an unraced half-sister by Galileo to Champion 3YO Filly Blue Bunting and to the dam of Group 3 winner Poker Face and stakes-winner Star Devine.

A Champion 2YO Colt and 3YO Colt by Dubawi, Too Darn Hot has had his first Australian bred yearlings sell this year for up to $1million and will have his first runners this season in Australia.
Dynamic Syndications purchased two yearlings by the sire believing he has the genetics to be a success in the Southern Hemisphere and the stallion who was Champion 2YO and Champion 3YO in Europe. Importantly his speed carried out to a mile so this will be a big advantage here.
We purchased a Colt and a Filly and are delighted in what they have shown us to date.
The colt is fully syndicated and in the care of Mick Price and Mick Kent Jnr.
