Buccaneer (1857 – 1887) was a Thoroughbred racehorse and champion sire in Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, and Germany. He was a dominant stallion at an important time in the development of horse racing in central Europe.
Background[edit]
Buccaneer was a bay horse. His sire was Wild Dayrell, of which through his lineage continued the Sir Paul branch of the Sir Peter Teazle direct sire line.[1]

In 1861, he won four consecutive starts, and started seven races that year. He finished his racing career in 1862 by winning the Trial Stakes at Salisbury.[2]
Stud record[edit]

In England, Buccaneer produced Formosa[3] and Brigantine, both classic race winners, and other good runners, including See Saw, and Paul Jones. In Austria-Hungary he produced winners Cadet and Kisber, while in Germany, he produced winner Flibustier.[1]
He sired fourteen Derby winners: nine in Austria-Hungary, three in Germany, and one each in England and Poland. His progeny won thirty-seven classic races, and he became a Champion Sire and Broodmare Sire.[2]
