So, you know that my girl, Violet, is related to Nasrullah several different ways. So, let me tell you about Nasrullah's damsire, Blenheim. He won the Epsom Derby in 1930, and sired the 1936 Epsom Derby, Mahmoud. He was sold to the U.S. and joined a syndicate of Claiborne Farm, Calumet Farm, Greentree Farm, and Stoner Creek Farm. In his very first crop, he produced Whirlaway, a Triple Crown Winner (and, obviously, Violet's indirect relation!). Whirlaway is pictured in the photo! He died in 1958 and is buried at Claiborne Farms! You can read more about this sexy, productive stallion at the following links:
