@ sire Tassort, son of Brazen Beau (Aus) B.B’s distaff goes by a Nearctic daughter, Nearctic Answer (Can) (n.b. Nearctic’s broodmare sire Hyperion viz., > 6x Northern Dancer).

Star Kingdom was the prolific breeder of breeders; his sons entirely dominated Australian turf & breeding mid 60’s & 70’s; the rise n’ falls of sires so declined of this preeminent male line in Hyperion however to become reclaimed through generation and critical mass.

Broodmare sire Toorak Toff is both by sire-male line & by distaff, Hyperion.
