- La Prevoyante (Sovereign Award for Horse of the Year in Canada, Eclipse Award Champion 2yo Filly in the United States, Champion Older Female in Canada),
- L'Enjoleur (CAN) (won Manitoba Derby, Quebec Derby etc.)
- Numbered Account, (Champion 2yo Filly, dam of Private Account, sire of undefeated Personal Ensign)

- Relaxing (Champion Older Female, Broodmare of the Year),
- Silver Buck (Whitney Handicap, Suburban Handicap, sire of Kentucky Derby winner Silver Charm)

- Toll Booth (Broodmare of the Year).
Even though he had three tail-male Kentucky Derby (G1) winners (Spend a Buck-1985, Lil E. Tee-1992 and Silver Charm-1997), his record as a damsire stands out.
Buckpasser was a leading broodmare sire in 1983, 1984, and 1989. His daughters have produced Champions and Classic Winners: They are led by Hall of Famers Easy Goer and Slew o' Gold, Belmont Stakes winners Coastal and Touch Gold, and With Approval, as well as El Gran Senor amongst a number of other influential stallions such as Seeking The Gold, Miswaki and Woodman.
