Sadler's Wells, one of the most influential stallions in the history of racing, died on Tuesday evening, aged 30.
The remarkable sire passed away from natural causes at Coolmore, in County Tipperary, where he had resided since retiring to stud in 1984.
Sadler's Wells' offspring included numerous champions, among them the likes of Galileo, Montjeu, High Chaparral and Yeats.
Coolmore manager Christy Grassick said: "We all feel privileged to have been involved with such a special horse. His influence looks set to continue for many years to come."
