Stud Record
Poseidon's owner had established the 'Eurmeralla Stud' at Gulgong, NSW, with a number of well-bred Australian and British mares to give Poseidon every chance of success as a sire.
His best performers were the "Principal Race" winners:
-
- Rascasse
-
- 1915 QTC Queensland Derby
- Telecles
-
- 1918 WmtnRC Australia Day Cup
- 1919 MVRC Moonee Valley Cup
Poseidon died on 3 February 1930 at 26 years of age. Each year the Listed VRC Poseidon Stakes for three-year-old colts and geldings is run in his honour.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
