Influential Sire Kingmambo Euthanized
Breed-shaping sire Kingmambo has been euthanized at 26 due to the infirmities of old age, Lane's End Farm announced Jan. 20. The influential stallion stood his entire career at the Kentucky operation and was pensioned from stud duty in 2010. Kingmambo will be buried at Lane's End.
Regally bred by the Niarchos family's Flaxman Holdings, Kingmambo was by Mr. Prospector out of the champion and two-time Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) winner Miesque. A champion in France at 3, Kingmambo won the French Two Thousand Guineas (Fr-I), the St. James' Palace (Fr-I), and the Prix du Moulin (Fr-I).
At stud Kingmambo reached even greater heights. He was a truly international sire, siring classic winners and champions in North America, Europe, and Japan. He sired El Condor Pasa , Japanese Horse of the Year; Divine Proportions , European champion at 2 and 3; and Lemon Drop Kid , North American champion older male. He also sired champions King Kamehameha , Henrythenavigator , Rule of Law, Russian Rhythm , Okawango , and Walzerkoenignin.
From an average crop size of less than 64 foals, Kingmambo sired over 85 stakes winners, 50 group/graded winners, of which 24 were group/grade I winners. He also emerged as a top broodmare sire as his daughters have produced grade and group I winners such as Midday , Duke of Marmalade , Camelot , Gozzip Girl , Maids Causeway , and Ruler of the World.
"It is a tough, emotional loss for all of us here at the farm," said Will Farish. "He's been with us for a long time, was so very successful and will be greatly missed. We're very grateful to Stavros, Maria and the whole Niarchos Family for entrusting his care to us."
"It is every owner/breeder's dream to have a filly like Miesque," said Maria Niarchos-Gouazé. "Then for her to give them two classic winners from her first two foals, in Kingmambo and East of the Moon, is unique. Kingmambo was one of a kind who has stamped the breed forever and who has given us so much pleasure over the past 26 years."
