A \\\\gentle giant,\\\\ Precipitation was too backward to start as a juvenile and did not race until age 3. He could not start in the St. Leger Stakes due to a mite-caused heel infection but easily defeated the St. Leger winner, Boswell, in the Jockey Club Cup three weeks later. He was the most successful of Hurry On\\\\\\\'s sons in England and died March 9, 1957, at Lady Zia\\\\\\\'s Someries Stud.

The real difficulty in assessing the influence of the Thoroughbred sire, Precipitation is that his effect on the performance horse world has been so profound that it is hard to know where to start - or finish.
