My Babu (1945–1970) was a French-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who became one of the most influential sires in American breeding of show jumpers, eventers and hunters.
His descendants include Bruce Davidson's former eventing mount JJ Babu, Anky van Grunsven's dressage horse Bonfire, and puissance and grand prix jumper Sympatico.
[3] He was later sold in 1955 to Americans Leslie W. Combs II and John W. Hanes for over $600,000,[4][5] the highest price ever paid for a Thoroughbred imported to the United States.
My Babu was the grandsire of National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee Precisionist, and the damsire of Hall of Fame inductees Damascus and Gamely as well as the damsire of Little Current, the 1974 American Champion Three-Year-old Colt and winner of the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
* My Babu is inbred 4D x 4D to the stallion Swynford, meaning that he appears fourth generation twice on the dam side of his pedigree.
