[1] They were by the successful sire, Phalaris, their dam the staying mare, Scapa Flow by Chaucer.

Pharos's maximum distance was approximately 1¼ miles and Fairway could stay much further and was altogether a better racehorse.

Both Pharos and Fairway were outstanding successes at stud where they both sired classic winners of a high standard.

However, Pharos has proved more influential in the long run and now stands four-square on the pre-eminent sire line in world racing.

Pharos sired 11 high class stallions including Pharis, an undefeated galloper whose wins included the 1939 Prix du Jockey Club and the Grand Prix de Paris and who was the leading sire in France in 1944.
