Breeder: Sir Percy Loraine & R. More O'Ferrall Raced in England from 3 to 5 years. Won 6 races from 16 starts at 1000 to 1400m. Won: King's Stand Stakes (ENG) 2nd: July Cup Stakes (ENG) 3rd: Diadem Stakes (ENG), Festival Stakes (ENG) Rated 131 lbs. by Timeform Although he has won over six and seven furlongs, five furlongs was his right distance. He was a free-runner, who did everything himself - the sort of horse who, when he has finished pulling, has finished racing. A robust, heavy-topped horse, Drum Beat has not been easy to train, but he established himself in 1958 as a very good sprinter indeed. He acted on any going. At 5 sent to Noreen Stud, South Africa. Leading Sire 1969 and 1970.
