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:
“Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
