Buccaneer

Buccaneer b.c. 1857 (Wild Dayrell - Little Red Rover Mare). Sire Line Highflyer. Family 14-d. Bred by Lord Dorchester and later owned by Lord Portsmouth, his turf career could probably have been better but for a bothersome splint. He was sold to the Hungarian State Stud Kisber in 1865. Beginning with his daughter Formosa's string of victories in England, his offspring were amazingly successful on the turf, and a bid was made to buy him back. He was not for sale. He sired fourteen Derby winners: one in England, three in Germany, nine in Austria, and one in Poland. Between them his progeny won thirty-seven classic races, and he became a Champion Sire and Broodmare Sire. Race Record He started 13 times, and won 11, including the July Stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. Notable Progeny AMALIE VON EDELREICH (ch.f. 1870) winner of Deutsches Derby, Furstenbuerg-Rennen.
