Very little information is known of the Darley Arabian's stud career at Aldby Park. He had covered mares from 1706 to 1719, and was given very few mares, mostly from Thomas Darley's privately bred mares. | Very little information is known of the Darley Arabian's stud career at Aldby Park.

The Darley Arabian would sire Flying Childers, consider the first truly great racehorse in history. He would also sire Bartlett's Childers, who would be the great-grandsire of [[wikipedia:Eclipse (horse)|Eclipse]]. | |||
Darley Arabian would pass away at an advanced age of 30, his cause of death is unknown. Unlike the [[Godolphin Barb]] and [[Byerley Turk]], the location of where the Darley Arabian was buried is unknown. | |||
It is estimated that 95% of all modern thoroughbreds can be traced to the Darley Arabian. This is mainly due to Eclipse being a direct ancestor of most thoroughbreds in the world. | |||
