He was then beaten by Legality in the Chesterfield Staker at Newmarket, won the Mersey Stakes at Liver- pool, and was beaten when run-.. ning against older horses In the Nunthorpe, Stakes at York. At the Houghton Meeting he was beaten by Twelve Pointer, but he ended up his first season with 2 very easy win in the Hurst Park Great Two-Year-Old Stakes.

Pharos started his stud duties in England, but was sent to Francé in 1923 and remained there ever since. He was from the first a most successful y stallion. and M. Baudoin, the manager of the stud where he stood, has said that Lord Derby would not have parted with him for £20.000. Quite apart from France he was the leading sire here in 1931 and sired 131. winners in England, the.. total value of the prize money being £115,861.

In addition to William of Valence others of his offspring were Genetout, Lorenzo de Medid, and Vatellor.
