is an influence of huge proportions in the pedigrees of the majority of Australian Black type winners (a special report follows)

 Sir Ivor  by Sir Gaylord   from Attica

 Star Kingdom 1946

This wonderful chestnut stallion, born on the 30th of April 1946 in Ireland, remains the most influential sireline in Australia. He raced 16 times for 9 wins which included the York Gimcrack Stakes, the Sandown Stud Produce Stakes, the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Chester Coronation Stakes.

He stood at Baramul Stud in the Widden Valley for 16 successive seasons and produced a dynasty which is unlikely to be ever equalled again.

At stud, Star Kingdom was Champion Australian Sire five times and Champion Juvenile Sire on six occasions. He had 344 to race for 259 winners. He was Champion Broodmare Sire on 3 occassions.

 His lasting legacy has been with his offspring who have become outstanding sires of  

 sires  and sires of broodmares.
