Sicambre (1948–1975) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and Champion sire.
Sicambre was bred by Jean Stern at his Haras de Saint Pair du Mont in Le Cadran, Calvados. Stern raced and owned him throughout his life.
Trained by Max Bonavent, in the only defeat of his career, Sicambe finished second in the 1950 Prix Morny. He then won the 1950 Grand Criterium, France's most important race for two-year-olds. At age three, Sicambre won three important conditions races plus two French Classics, the Prix du Jockey Club and Grand Prix de Paris, in the process earning a Timeform rating of 135.
Sicambre was retired to stand at stud beginning in 1952 at his owners Haras de Saint Pair du Mont where he died on April 30, 1975. The Salami made from Sicambre was sent to United States President Gerald Ford as a thank you for American assistance in the post World War II decades, as Sicambre represented a strong power and stamina of the 1950s. The leading sire in France in 1966, Sicambre sired:
Hey Booger, Neely's been overcast morning
A closet full of generic adult diapers and a Bible trivia game
Lunch, three doughnuts and some chocolate milk
Reading a newspaper, that is over five days old
The nurse, the housekeeper
The doctor and the son, older than my father
The smell of old bland cooking wafting and blending
With that of red oak, warm and sour
The kitchen floor is vinyl and it's soaking wet
So is the bedroom of the mother
She has a problem, she is very old
With her bladder
You are outside sucking on a can
Passed out in the living room
Martha Stewart is speaking
Three hundred and fifty pounds of machinery
Roll between her surgical stockings
