Stud Record
Although reports suggested that Oh So Sharp was to be kept in training as a four-year-old she was retired from racing at the end of 1985 to become a broodmare at the Dalham Hall stud. None of her progeny have been as successful on the track as she was, but she has produced winners in Rosefinch, who won the Prix Saint-Alary, Shaima (Long Island Handicap), Sacho and Felitza. Shaima went on to produce the St Leger winner Shantou. Oh So Sharp is dam of Savoire Vivre who is enjoying some success at stud in Tasmania, Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“Society is the stage on which manners are shown; novels are the literature. Novels are the journal or record of manners; and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
