Precipitation was out of [[Double Life (horse)|Double Life]], a foundation mare of the famous British [[Stud (animal)|stud]], Someries Stud. Although plain, Double Life was a good racehorse and exceptional [[broodmare]]. Hurry On, the sire of Precipitation, sired 3 winners of the [[Epsom Derby]] during the 1920s.
Precipitation did well on the track, winning 7 races and £18,419. He won the 1937 [[Ascot Gold Cup]].<ref name=Great450>Stonebridge ''Great Horses'' p. 450</ref> He was incredibly successful at stud, producing both exceptional racehorses and sport horses. During his stud career, which began in 1938, he was one of the leading sires in England, and produced over 50 stakes winners.
In [[New Zealand]], his blood lives on through the offspring of three great sons: Count Rendered, Summertime and Agricola.
Precipitation might be most famous for siring sport horses, including [[Furioso]], the sire of the incredibly influential [[Furioso II]] and [[Cor de la Bryere]].
