Troy's Legacy

NEW! View a list of all stallions descended from Troy!

In his short time at stud, three and a half seasons, Troy sired 5 group winners and 7 other stakes winners. His sons and daughters have continued to carry on his line and his name, even now, 24 years after his birth and 17 years after his death. His descendents have between them won top races in countries as far apart as the USA, the UK, Eire, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, India, Turkey, Kenya and the former USSR; the following are the best of them:

Most of the names in black are hyperlinks which when clicked will either take you to an article about that particular horse or to a page of details about that particular horse in the database. In addition while you are in the progeny area you can always click on one of the four buttons at the top (1981 Crop, 1982 Crop, etc.) to get full information about that foal crop, including the ability to click on any horse's name to get its details. Please note that while I have included some pedigree and foal information for other notable horses the information about them is nowhere near as complete as the information about Troy's descendents.

International cataloguing standards are used to indicate stakes winners, stakes-placed horses, winners and non-winners. Please note that information about pedigrees, winners and stakes winners is limited to my personal knowledge so some pedigrees are incomplete and some horses may be winners even though I do not indicate them as such. If in doubt please refer to a pedigree database such as Equine Line for further information.

I am always trying to keep my knowledge of Troy's descendents up-to-date. If anyone reading this has any information about any of the horses mentioned in these pages please fill in the form below and send it to me. 

If anyone reading this lives in Japan: if you have some information about either Pilsudski or Oath can you please let me know! Thanks! They were probably the two best descendents of Troy and I am particularly interested to know about their foals, and about the pedigrees and racing careers of the mares they have covered at stud in Japan.
