Skyline was a notable Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who was the best three-year-old of his year.
He was a bay or brown stallion foaled in 1955 by the champion sire Star Kingdom (IRE) from Flight's Daughter by Helios (GB) from Flight by Royal Step.
[1] Following exceptional wins in the 1958 STC Golden Slipper Stakes, STC Hill Stakes and AJC Derby (in race record time of 2:28.8)[2] his promising career was put on hold following a severe injury sustained in a stable accident.
Skyline eventually recovered from the injury but was never the same horse failing to register another win.
He was retired to stud with the record of 5 wins from 32 starts, and from very limited opportunities and only a few foals,[3] he sired, among others, Sky Sailor, winner of 11 races.
