Herbager (1956 – 25 March 1976)[1] was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and an influential sire in both France and the United States.
His dam was Flagette (by Escamillo), who was inbred 2x2 to St. Leger winner Firdaussi, meaning both her parents were sired by him.
[4] Herbager was retired to stud for the 1960 season in France and in December 1964 was sold for US$700,000 to the prominent Kentucky breeder Bull Hancock.
[5] At Claiborne Farm, the horse sired sixty-four stakes winners and became a major stamina influence.
