Sold to Sir Harry Harpur, he goes to stud at Calke, Derbyshire, becoming so crippled with laminitis that his owner would have destroyed him but for his groom's pleadings. After this he sires Marske, sire of Eclipse, through which the Darley Arabian sire line extends to the present day in over 95% of thoroughbreds
