Шаблон:Infobox racehorse Herbager (1956 – 25 March 1976)[1] was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and an influential sire in both France and the United States.
Background
Herbager was sired by Vandale, a stayer who won the 1946 Prix du Conseil Municipal and whom Herbager helped make the 1959 Leading sire in France. His dam was Flagette (by Escamillo), who was inbred 2x2 to St. Leger winner Firdaussi, meaning both her parents were sired by him.[2]
During his racing career he was owned by Simone Del Duca and trained by Pierre Pelat.
Racing career
Herbager made two starts at age two, finishing second once and winning the Prix Seraphine. At age three, he was the best colt in his age group in France, winning important races including the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and the Classic French Derby[3] in which he earned a Timeform rating of 136. In the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, he sustained a serious leg injury but finished only two lengths from the winner. This injury ended his racing career.[4]
Stud record
Herbager was retired to stud for the 1960 season in France and in December 1964 was sold for US$700,000 to the prominent Kentucky breeder Bull Hancock. Hancock then syndicated Herbager and moved him to his Claiborne Farm.[5] At Claiborne Farm, the horse sired sixty-four stakes winners and became a major stamina influence.[1]
