Stud Record
Sent to Cheveley Park Stud near Newmarket for breeding duty, Isinglass sired three British Classic Race winners: Cherry Lass (1000 Guineas and Oaks), Glass Doll (Oaks), and Louvois (2000 Guineas). His most influential son was Star Shoot who was Leading sire in North America on five occasions, siring horses such as Sir Barton and Grey Lag. Isinglass also was very successful as a sire of broodmares, notably as the damsire of Prince Palatine. In 1912, he was posthumously the Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland.
Isinglass died at Cheveley Park Stud on 5 December 1911. His skeleton is at the Natural History Museum in London.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
