Stud Career
At the end of his racing career, Gully sold Mameluke to William Theobald who based the stallion at his Stockwell stud in Surrey. Gully later attempted to buy the horse back, but Theobald refused. Mameluke made little impact as a stallion although some of his daughters had some influence as broodmares. At the end of 1837 it was reported that Mameluke had been sold to French breeders and was to be exported to stand as a stallion at Aurillac.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
