Personality
Buce is a fiery stallion. His fiery passion just draws you into this solely unique Augusto son. But like other Augusto progeny he is a devil to deal with. Unlike his twin and full-sibling Requim, he seems to be a heartless stallion. Frankly he doesn't give a rip about anyone. This cold attitude makes him a formidable foe upon the race track. With his sire's attitude and his dam's speed, this half-sibling to Admiral's Revenge is not a horse you want to underestimate.
Buce is a violent big boy. He's intelligent and cruel. There really is no compassion in this black stallion. In essence, he is a replica of his black sire. He's attacked people and horses, but fortunately not off grounds. We noticed that as he got older, he got more aggressive and so IGS retired him from the tracks...he was too much of a liability. However, when Buce was on the tracks he was something to behold. He was a versatile runner. Most times though, he always broke to the front...it was the safest place he could be on the field for him and the other horses. He's quick on his feet and cunning to boot. Usually, Rosalind's easy temper handles hot stallions, but Buce is an exception to her foals.
History and Pedigree Information
Buce is the result of a breeding arrangement between Rockstar and IGS. IGS was highly interested in matching their top mare to Rockstar's top stud. The ownership of the foal was going to solely belong to IGS, but as luck would have it Rosalind threw twins. One a grey filly, the other a black colt. IGS got the colt. Requiem was a rarity, being docile in nature while Bucephalus held true to the Augusto violent nature.
He raced twice, other records being lost in transition over to Intrepid, but was quickly retired from the track due to his volatile nature. Buce has the speed and stamina, but was becoming to much of a liability on the track. So Nicholas has retired the stallion and is eager to see what kind of foals this guy will produce, come Y12.
His sire is Augusto, an MHS and SS Legend and Twilight Stakes winner. He is also the sire of Requiem (a proven broodmare and Buce's twin) and the legend Augusta. Augusta won the MHS Breeder's Cup Classic and also the Sprint. She also won the MHS Dawn Treader. Both highly prestigious races. Her offspring includes, Warlock, Atalanta, Contessa and Anarchi.
Buce's dam, Rosalind, didn't have much of a race record, but she more than made up with in producing. Her offspring include, Requiem (proven dam of Deadly Desires GHF), Admiral's Revenge (a Triple Crown Winner and Twilight Stakes competitor, Admirable (a G2 mare and full-sibling to Admiral's Revenge) and the new born Acantha (sired by G1 ARS Like A Cheetah).

Breeding Records
Stud Commentary: Bucephalus is a wild boy. He never got to break his maiden due to growing aggression issues, but when he did race he never placed outside of the money, exactly like his twin Requiem, who is now a proven brood with a HOF to her name. Buce is tall and and thick, pure muscle. He isn't afraid to tackle the unknown and will pass on that fierceness to his foals. We're excited to see how Buce's legacy turns out and if he is a proven producer like his twin. His bloodlines are superb, sired by the legendary Augusto and out of the proven Rosalind (dam of TC winner Admiral's Revenge), this half-sibling to Triple Crown Winner, Admiral's Revenge is irresistible. If you are looking to add some attitude to your stock with ferocious determination and amazing speed backed with proven SIM racing lines then Buce is an excellent choice.
Perfect Matches: Due to Bucephalus' high level of aggression, mares that are bred to Buce should be medium builds with even tempers. We don't need more un-raceable foals on the ground.
His Foal's Achievements:
[X] Abastor is a Y1O bred black colt. He just placed 5th in the TW Y11 BC Yearling Show and will be making his racing debut in Y12. Already the colt has won the MAGIC MILLIONS TURF* on GHF and the first running of the FOLLOW THE HOOFPRINTS TURF CLASSIC* on TW. The first son of Buce is proving to be high caliber.
