Surumu (* 1974 ; † November 3, 1999 ) was an English thoroughbred horse that was bred by Walther J. Jacobs at the Fährhof stud farm near Bremen by a literary man from Surama . The chestnut stallion won the 1977 German Derby in Hamburg-Horn.
Race record:
- 2- to 4-year-olds: 9 starts - 3 wins - 1 second - 2 third places,
- Prize money: 376,510 DM,
- General counterbalance weight (GAG): 76.0 - 99.5 - without kg.
In 1977 Surumu was the superior winner of the German Derby with 7 lengths. An injury ended his racing career abruptly a little later, but Surumu was then very successful in thoroughbred breeding. He was six times champion of sire horses and several times champion of sires of dams in Germany.
He sired three Derby winners in Germany ( Acatenango , Mondrian and Temporal ) and one in Italy ( Osorio ). He also produced excellent broodmares and with them he became one of the most important breeding stallions in Germany. Surumu's daughters are u. a. Mothers of the Irish Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Hurricane Run and the currently leading German father horse Monsun. Mondrian hopes to pass his blood on in Ireland through Well Made , Acatenango does so through Lando in France and Aesculap in Germany. In 2006, Osorio, the last Surumu son, was available to breeders and in 2008 he mated in England.
