Stud Record
Nearula was retired to stud after being syndicated with a value of 100,000 guineas. In five seasons at stud he was not particularly successful, but did sire some good horses including Kythnos, who won the Irish 2000 Guineas and finished third to St. Paddy in the Derby. His daughter Whimsical had some impact as a broodmare, being the grand-dam of the St Leger Stakes winner Bruni and the champion sprinter Never So Bold. Nearula died after rupturing a blood vesssel when covering his first mare of the 1960 breeding season.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“We have what I would call educational genocide. Im concerned about learning totally, but Im immersed in the disastrous record of how many black kids are going into science. They are very few and far between. Ive said that when I see more black students in the laboratories than I see on the football field, Ill be happy.”
—Jewel Plummer Cobb (b. 1924)
