Darley Stud is located at Dalham Hall,[1] the global breeding operation owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and vice-president of the United Arab Emirates.

[citation needed] Other famous stallions who have stood at Dalham Hall include Dubai Millennium,[6] Sheikh Mohammed's favourite horse.

[7] Born on the stud and trained in Newmarket, he won the Dubai World Cup in 2000[8] and was the eight-length winner of the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot in the same year.

[9] In addition to standing stallions, Darley manages the racing interests of Sheikh Mohammed and various members of the Maktoum family, and has racehorses with a number of trainers in the UK, Ireland, France, the United States, Australia, and Japan.

[10] In 2014, Darley Australia, together with rival Coolmore and a number of local viticulturists, won a battle against Anglo American Coal to stop the expansion of the company's Drayton South open cast mining operation in the Hunter Valley.
