bay NEWMINSTER (1848), won the St. Leger and the Goodwood Cup and was twice leading sire in England, with many good sire sons who bred on for a few generations, and two sons who became tail-male conduits to outstanding racehorses and sires of the 19th and 20th centuries. St. Leger winner Lord Clifden (1860) was one, who through son Hampton (1872) established a line that included Dark Ronald, Ayrshire, Ambassador IV, Son-in-Law, Gainsborough and son Hyperion, and many others. The second was Derby winner Hermit (1864), who led the sires list seven times, and from whom descended in tail-male horses such as the great jumper sire Ascetic (1872), the French sire Sans Souci II, and St. Blaise, who was a sucessful sire in the U.S. Hermit was also an excellent race filly and broodmare sire, with four classic winning daughters. The Newminster son Adventurer, who led the sire\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s list in England in 1874, sired Derby winner Pretender (1866). Another Newminster son, July Stakes winner Cambuscan, got the lovely sherry-bay Camballo (1872), who won the Two Thousand Guineas, and the unbeaten great race mare Kincsem (1874).
