Wielki Szlem (out of Elegant by Bakszysz) bay born. 1938, dimensions 147-191-19,5 cm
He was the son of a mare that could easily be called a pearl of Polish breeding. She produced such stallions as: Jaszmak, Lowelas, Opal, Rosomak, Skarabeusz and Wielki Szlem, and only two of them were sons of one sire. Elegantka gave good progeny with each stallion. Her daughter Kamea 1929 also founded a valuable family.
Wielki Szlem started covering mares in 1940 in Pelkinie, then it was Janów mares (on evacuation in Germany), and from 1947 it was active in Nowy Dwór. In the years 1956—57 he was a sire in Albigowa. In Pelkinie and Nowy Dwór he met very different mares, among which they were also weaker in terms of beauty and exterior. His great merit was the leveling of this material. In total, Wielki Szlem produced 51 mares and 10 stallions, of which Miech Pełkiński, Anarchist, Czardasz, Czort and Duch were used for breeding in Poland.
Grand Szlem's daughters turned out to be very valuable mothers, giving many stallions used for breeding in the country. And so Gahdar 1942 was given by Abu Afasa, Mira 1942 - Mir Saida, dialect 1946 - Gwarny, Angara 1947 - Arax, Bint Munira 1948 - Badr Bedura, Cerekiew 1951 - Carycin, Diska 1950 - Drama, Ellenai 1956 - Eleuzis, Elf and Elbrus.
Wielki Szlem passed on great racing prowess to his offspring. Of his descendants, the classic prizes were won by: Omar - 1944 - Derby, Czardasz 1949 - Derby and Comparative, Czort 1949 - 2 times Comparative, Don Lambro 1950 - Derby, Dyska 1950 - Oaks, Kochana 1952 - Oaks.
