Registered as "Ambiorix II".
Exceptional miler. Given this leaning towards speed over stamina, Ambiorix was judged by his famed French breeder Marcel Boussac more useful at stud in America and was subsequently sold to A.B. Hancock Jr.'s Claiborne Farm for $250,000. Sired 51 SWs from 423 foals (Leading Sire in 1961); also earned warmblood lifetime number #64207046 and had 3 approved sons. Died in 1975 at Claiborne Farm and is buried there.
