Stud Record
Dark Star retired to stand at stud in the United States. In 1967, he was sold to Haras du Bois-Roussel in Alençon, France. His most notable offspring was the Prix de Diane winner Gazala, who became an outstanding broodmare, producing Youth (Prix du Jockey Club, sire of Teenoso), Gonzales (Irish St Leger) and Mississippian (Grand Criterium). Dark Star was also the sire of Hidden Treasure, the 1961 Canadian Horse of the Year.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“He will not idly dance at his work who has wood to cut and cord before nightfall in the short days of winter; but every stroke will be husbanded, and ring soberly through the wood; and so will the strokes of that scholar’s pen, which at evening record the story of the day, ring soberly, yet cheerily, on the ear of the reader, long after the echoes of his axe have died away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
