Prof. Witold Pruski writes about Ofir as follows:

“On the international arena, he would certainly not receive such recognition as in Poland and would not receive the best mares. In Janów, on the other hand, he left his best offspring with beautiful local mares, such as Witraż 1938, Wielki Szlem 1938 and Witeź II 1938. Unfortunately, Ofir bred in Janów for only three seasons, 1937—1939. Judging from the fact that in the first batch of progeny he produced three such excellent stallions as mentioned above, it can be assumed that he was a particularly suitable sire for Janów. However, he was not destined to stay at his home stud for long. He went to Tersk in the northern Caucasus, where he did not produce offspring of the same class as in Janów. He hid in Tersk in the years 1940-1948 and died there in 1948. He became the main continuator of the male line imported from Arabia in 1931 by Roman Prince Sanguszko - Kuhailan Haifi.”
