	Phalaris
		Phalaris was bred by the Seventeenth Earl of Derby, who, upon the advice of his racing manager George Lambton, and bloodstock advisor, Walter Alston, purchased his dam Bromus following the death of her breeder, Joseph H. Houldsworth, in 1910.
		Phalaris was foaled on May 16, 1913 at the Derby stud in Newmarket and went into the hands of Lord Derby's trainer George Lambton when a two-year-old.
		Phalaris' two most important offspring happened to be the full brothers Fairway and Pharos, both bred by Lord Derby out of the Scarborough Stakes winner, Scapa Flow by Chaucer.

	Phalaris "Disease"
		Varola might have thought Phalaris had not been significantly inbred to when he wrote that comment in his 1980 book The Functional Development of the Thoroughbred, but since that time, we have not only inbred to Phalaris, we have saturated the breed with this blood.
		Varola likewise stated that Phalaris was "trans-brilliant", and thus able to sire horses whose speed could be carried over a distance of ground.
		But if one of their daughters comes along and your sire has a glut of Phalaris blood and she fits him, that daughter may well be a way to avoid some of the pitfalls the "Phalaris revolution" has caused.

		Phalaris will grow on a wide range of soils, from moderately shallow, moderately acidic, sedimentary soils to deep, self-mulching, alkaline clays.
		Phalaris pastures are sometimes seriously damaged by blue oat mite, redlegged earth mite, field crickets, pasture scarabs, slugs and snails.
		Towards the end of summer, where soil erosion is not likely to be a problem, aim at 10—15% of bare ground, to assist establishment of annual legumes.

	Invasive Plants of Wisconsin: Phalaris arundinacea, reed canary grass
		Because Phalaris does not usually produce large numbers of new seedlings, one of the most effective means for control is to monitor susceptible areas and destroy any new plants before they can expand vegetatively.
		When an established wetland vegetation of native plants is in place, the incidence of colonization by Phalaris is much reduced and expansion of the clones is much slower.
		Application of herbicides can be effective in killing established populations of Phalaris, but may also kill other, more desirable plants in the area and if the site is not monitored thereafter, any surviving plants can quickly reoccupy the area.
