Bonehill Paddock stud near Tamworth at the end of the 1880 season, but had little early success, siring only fifteen foals in two years. After Gretton's death he was sold at auction to William Stirling-Crawfurd, the husband of the Duchess of Montrose, in January 1883 for £10,000. Isonomy was sent to the Duchess's Sefton Stud, and after a weight-reduction programme, he resumed his stud career with greater success. Although he was never Champion sire he proved to be a successful stallion, siring two Triple Crown winners in Isinglass and Common. Among his other successes were the outstanding filly Seabreeze and the influential sire Gallinule. Isonomy developed heart trouble and died in April 1891.
