Kingmambo, long recognized as one of the world’s leading
international sires, has been pensioned from stallion duty at William
S. Farish’s Lane’s End Farm near Versailles, Ky. The 20-year-old son of

runners have earned nearly $95 million.
“He’s one of the great stallions of all time. He has sired classic horses, sprinters, and milers,” Farish said.
Farish alluded to Kingmambo’s imminent retirement earlier in September.
