From the first crop by The Tetrarch, STEFAN THE GREAT (gr.c. 1916 out of Perfect Peach by Persimmon) followed in his sires footsteps, being undefeated (in only two starts) as a juvenile, winning the Middle Park Stakes and Triennial Produce Stakes.
He entered stud in England and sired some useful horses including Kiev, Tolgus, Vespasian, and Fancy Free (dam of Blue Peter), and Portree (dam of Portlaw).
Stefan the Great was sent to America in 1923 to stand at Joseph Wideners Elmendorf Stud, where he sired the champion mare Valenciennes, champion steeplechaser Bushranger, and some other good ones like Jean Valjean, Silver Beauty, Silver Cord, and Stephanie (granddam of Count Fleet).
He was sent back to Europe after the 1929 season.
