About Marsyas

Marsyas was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was the dominant stayer in France in the mid-1940s, winning four consecutive editions of the 4,000 metre Prix du Cadran from 1944 to 1947. He proved equally successful when campaigned in Britain in 1946. After winning seventeen of his twenty-seven races, he was retired to stud where he had limited success as a sire of winners.
