Stud Record
In 1990 Bill and Margaret Hanson purchased Maori's Idol from Noel Taylor for stud duties. He was then retired to stud and has sired 726 foals for 183 individual winners of $3.9 million in stakes including the Australasian Trotters Championship winner Digger's Idol. His other good performers include Alabama's Idol, Dashing Chief, Kimbo, Kwik Kiwi, Laurie's Legacy, Mighty Maori and Rainbow's Idol.
Maori's Idol died on 20 October 2006 at Homevale Stud at Fern Hill, where the 34-year-old stallion had spent his past 16 years. He was buried next to the admission gates at the Bendigo Harness Racing Club’s track.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.”
—Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949)
