Quaker Town is the only son of Yorktown to set foot in South Africa. He unfortunately died at a young age, but sired several good S.A. Junior Champion horses eg.

This magnificent son of Supreme Sultan was out of a Wing Commander mare, The Royal Princess. Supreme O' Lee is testimony to the so-called golden cross of Supreme Sultan x Wing Commander mares. South Africa was very fortunate to had such a good breeding horse. He bred numerous S.A. Grand Champions and Reserve Grand Champions eg Lynn O' Lee, Sparkling O' Lee, Pleased to Meet You, Sarah Lee, The Cookie Collector etc. His mares are sought after broodmares. A whole separate page will be dedicated in future to Supreme O' Lee.
