Overview

Heroic (1921–1939) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who won 21 races from 5 furlongs (1,000 metres) to 2 miles (3,200m) and was a leading sire in Australia. Breeding Heroic was sired by Valais (by the 1905 Epsom Derby winner, Cicero), his dam was Chersonese (GB) by Cyglad. This made him inbred twice in the 3rd generation to Cyllene and in the 3rd and 4th generations (4x3) to Illuminata through the half-sisters Gas, dam of Cicero and Chelandry. Heroic was a brother to the useful sire, Thracian and a half-brother to the stakeswinner, Cimbrian. Heroic was an outstanding type of yearling that fetched the top price of 1,800 guineas at the Inglis’ bloodstock sales. Racing record He was trained by Jack Holt who posthumously would become part of the 2001 inaugural class inducted in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.

Notable quotes

“Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh — that is to say, over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of sickness, of isolation, and of death. There is no serious piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.”
— Henri-Frédéric Amiel, Journal entry dated 1 October 1849, Journal Intime (1882)
“A hero is an average person who has done something extraordinary.”
— Ann E. Dunwoody, A Higher Standard (2015)
“Someone can conquer kingdoms and countries without being a hero; someone else can prove himself a hero by controlling his temper. Someone can display courage by doing the out-of-the-ordinary, another by doing the ordinary. The question is always-how does he do it?”
— Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or Part II, Hong, p. 298 (1843).
“Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.”
— Will Rogers nationally syndicated column number 114, Monuments Are All Right But Even Heroes Must Eat (1925).
“Il faut être bien héros pour l'être aux yeux de son valet-de-chambre.”
— A man must indeed be a hero to appear such in the eyes of his valet.
“I want to be a hero like my brother is to me; somehow become the person he inspires me to be.”
— Robert & Teila Walker, You Can Be a Hero (2024), Cheyenne: Forgotten Places Publishing, first edition hardcover, p. 1
