Precipitation was an influential British bred Thoroughbred stallion who is found in the pedigrees of many racehorses and sport horses today.
He alone is responsible for maintaining the Matchem sireline, through Sheshoon, except for the American Fair Play branch.
He was by Hurry On and out of Double Life, a foundation mare of the famous British stud, Someries Stud.
Hurry On, the sire of Precipitation, was unbeaten in his six starts and sired three winners of the Epsom Derby during the 1920s.
Double Life was a good racemare that won six races worth 5,647 and then proved to be an exceptional broodmare.
Her foals included, Casanova (a winner and a good sire), Persian Gulf (Coronation Cup and outstanding sire) and Doubleton who was the grandam of Meld.
Precipitation did not race until he was three owing to a heel problem.
