Idalia, the dam of Eros, as a brood mare, is well worthy to take rank with the famous old-time mares Penelope, dam of Whalebone and Whisker, or of the Alexander Mare, dam of Selim Reubens and Castrel, or of the more recent but equally celebrated Pocahontas, dam of Stockwell, Rataplan, and King Tom; for, like these celebrated English matrons, Idalia’s sons have already become known far and wide by their phenomenal success as stud horses in America, where Sir Modred and Cheviot are now located. , . , Yattendon, the sire of St George, who sired Eros was also sire of Grand Flaneur, a horse that never suffered defeat, and winner of all the great three-year-old events, beside Champion and Melbourne Cup.
