In his second year at stud Shirley Heights sired Darshaan, who won the 1984 Prix du Jockey Club (beating Sadler's Wells and Rainbow Quest) before becoming a highly-successful breeding stallion. His next crop of foals produced Slip Anchor, who won the Derby by seven lengths in 1985. His other major winners included Infamy (Rothmans International) and Shady Heights (International Stakes). He was also the damsire of Lady Carla and In The Wings.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
