"In 1932, Selene produced CORONAL (ch.f. 1932 by Coronach), who made only one start at two and ran unplaced in that. At three, she ran ten times, and won just once, in the minor Freckenham Stakes (Newmarket). She was second twice, in the Dukeries Foal Plate (Nottingham), Durham County Produce Stakes (Stockton), and third three times, in the Coronation Stakes (Ascot), Falmouth Stakes (Newmarket), and Lingfield Autumn Oaks. Obviously not nearly the same class as her brothers,
Coronal embarked on an equally disappointing stud career, getting just one winner, Afghan II (1939 by Mahmoud), who won just one minor race before being sent to stud in Chile. There he topped the Leading Sires list twice (1947, 1948), with his best runner being Beauchef. His most important offspring internationally was the mare Maria Bonita, granddam of the mighty Chilean import, Cougar II, an outstanding runner in the U.S. "

" 1948
Beauchef becomes the first foreign-bred horse (Chile) to win the MassCap, in the first 1 1/4 miles edition of the race. The 2-to-1 favorite broke last in a field of twelve, "rallied under stout pressure, caught the leader inside the final sixteenth and won drawing out." The MassCap will remain at ten furlongs through 1969, switch to 1 1/2 miles on the turf in 1970 and 1971, then return to its original distance from 1972 onward.'
