Two Thousand Guineas winner but left almost nothing bar Ascot Gold Cup winner Cyllene before being packed off unceremoniously to Hungary where he was 5 times Champion Sire. Cyllene himself was later sold to Argentina (as noted by Rees) but not before leaving Polymelus, an above average racehorse but a spectacular sire who left Phalaris, the tail-male ancestor of about 95% of modern thoroughbreds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Funny you should say that, I was just looking at Cromwell. The winning post location narrows it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
