. Virtually all horses of this line alive today descend through Whalebone (foaled 1807), via Stockwell
(1849). And the overwhelming majority of these descend from Stockwell's grandson Bend Or
(1877) through his great-great-grandson Phalaris
(1913). Successful sire-lines continue to crowd out less successful ones as breeders seek successful bloodlines, and in recent years Mr. Prospector has appeared likely to join this catalogue of likely tail-male ancestors of major racers, whether they be heavily promoted and trained and owned by prominent figures, or "Cinderellas" like Smarty Jones
or Funny Cide

On June 1, 1999, Mr. Prospector died in his stall of complications from colic
at Claiborne Farm
in Paris, Kentucky
