Bandos (1964 – September 1987) was a gray Arabian stallion with Crabbet ancestry.[3] He was sired by Negatiw, a Tersk bred stud, out of Bandola, who was known by the title of "Queen of Poland".[4] Bandos was a sire in Poland for 11 years, and in 1982, he was imported to the United States.
Life and career
[edit]Bandos was foaled at Poland's Janów Podlaski Stud Farm in 1964. He was sired by Negatiw, who was by the Skowronek son, Naseem, and out of the Polish-bred mare, Bandola. His dam was a full sister to Bask, a sire of significance.[1] Bandos himself, at a young age, was nicknamed the "King of Janow".[4] Bandos was considered to be one of the most influential Saglawi-type stallions. Those who knew him described him as, "Very pleasant and quiet in the stall, however, when brought out, full of fire and very animated."[2] Bandos stood as a Janow Podlaski stud for seven years, moved to Michalow Stud for another two years, then Kurosweki Stud for another year. For the 1981 breeding season he was returned to Janow.[2]
In September 1982, Bandos was sold for $806,000 to Ventura Farms of California during the Polish Prestige Sale at Janów Podlaski Stud Farm.[4] He was imported to the United States by truck and plane and spent the rest of his life there until his death in September 1987.[3][4]
Offspring and legacy
[edit]Bandos sired 129 foals during his years in Poland, many of which went on to become champions themselves.[2] They were sold over a three-year period at the Polish Prestige Sales for an average price of $49,000. He went on to sire three Derby winners and ten Polish National Champions.[2][3] One of his most notable offspring was Eukaliptus, whose dam was Eunice, the daughter of Comet.[2]
Pedigree
[edit]Naseem, Bandos's grandsire, was a Skowronek son who in 1936 was sold to Russia by Lady Wentworth of the Crabbet Arabian Stud.[5] A few of Bandos's ancestors, including Enwer Bay and Gazella II, were requisitioned by the Russian Army during World War II.[6] Also during World War II, Bandos's grandsire, Ofir, was among some of the horses taken during the Soviet invasion of Poland. Ofir was of the desert-bred stallion Kuhailan-Haifi who was foaled in 1923. Kuhailan-Haifi was imported from the Jauf region of the Arabian Peninsula by Prince Roman Sanguszko of the Gumniska Stud.[7]
