Prix Thomas Bryon (Fr-G3), Prix Djebel (FR). His performance in the 2000 Guineas (Eng-I), turned out to be a show of force, as he went through a wall of horses rather than around them, and was disqualified and placed last. It was the first time a Guineas winner had been disqualified. Easily won on merit.
Champion 3YO colt in France. Half-brother to Irish champion 2-year-old filly Fairy Bridge. The quality in the female family went all the way back to champions Gamely, Moccasin, Ridan, and Thatch under third dam Rough Shod II. 135 SWs, 61 group or graded SWs, and 23 Group/Grade 1 winners, 9 Champions, including Theatrical ($2,940,036) -- all despite fertility problems. Nureyev died on 29 Oct 2001. Buried at Walmac near two-time Arc winner Alleged and dual U.S. classic winner Risen Star.
