He is often described as a poor sire. But the fact that he appears in the pedigrees of the 2 most important TB-sires for international sporthorse-breeding : SON-IN-LAW - through DARK RONALD - and HURRY ON, might not be a coincidence. His TB-son : ANARCH stood in Trakehnen. The outstanding american TB-sire: BLUE LARKSPUR is 3x4 inbred to the THURIO daughter : PADUA. Also his get stands often in the type of a riding-horse. The TB-sire: RELIC has the same 2nd dam, VAILA as BLUE LARKSPUR. VAILA is grand-daughter of PADUA by THURIO.
