Athenagoras, the sire of Oglio. A multiple stakes winner, Athenagoras was named Horse of the Year in Germany--during a career which earned him almost $2 million, and he ranks among the leading sires of race horses in that country.
His offspring include the German Champion Indica, and two-time German Champion Schwarz-Grun.
The Trakehner stallion, Finley M, is also out of an Athenagoras daughter, For a xx, who is regarded as one of the best Thoroughbred mares in the Trakehner breed, scoring a 10.0 for elasticity of paces and length of stride. After a successful career as a racehorse, For a was runner up at the mare performance test in Hanover in 1987. Finley M was the Champion Stallion of the Trakehner approvals in 1992 and received a special award for Best True-to-Type Stallion. Following the approvals he was sold at auction for DM 310,000--the second highest price ever in the 30 years of Trakehner stallion sales.
The Athenagoras son, Narew xx, is licensed by the Oldenburg, Trakehner, Hanoverian, Hessen and Mecklenburg studbooks. After a successful racing career, Narew became one of the few Thoroughbred stallions to complete the stallion performance test, earning 125 points in Performance Class I in Medingen, with a perfect 10 for his canter. Narew xx has sired three approved sons, including Nagano (two-time German Showjumping Championship finalist and sales topper of the PSI auction in 1996 at DM 1 million), and the Oldenburg licensed stallion, Nurejew.
