[thatracingbitch-blog]

Sardanapale, a horse born in 1911 was a British thoroughbred. He's by Prestige, out of Gemma.

It's said that he raced 16 times, winning 13 out of that 16. Some of his biggest wins included the Prix Du Jockey-Club, Grand Prix de Paris, Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Prix Eugene Adam, Prix Hocquart, Prix La Grange and the Prix Morny.

At the age of 3 he was named Champion Colt in France, and in 1915 he retired from racing.

He began his stud career, and is best well known for his two European sons Appele and Fiterari.

During his stud career, he was named leading sire in France in 1922, and 1927 and was also named leading broodmare sire in France. This amazing horse died sometime in November in 1934.

Eugène Delacroix, La Mort de Sardanapale, 1827

[esomno-golem]

Écrire devenant une poétique du désastre dans lequel s'achève une civilisation qui a eu pour autre nom la littérature, en France particulièrement, la différence entre les auteurs contemporains et les vrais écrivains tenant à ce que les auteurs font mourir la langue à l'hôpital tandis que les écrivains lui sacrifient encore je-ne-sais-quoi d'énorme et de sauvage, comme Sardanapale faisant mettre à mort des femmes et des chevaux devant le lit où il va mourir.

La Confession négative, Richard Millet
