As we got his half brother to Czech Republic (Spinning Wild; he's already here, I saw only his picture - still in racing condition, resembles Hussonet a bit, but he's classes below Hussonet...), I'd like to learn more about Hussonet's racing career...
I know he won two races as 2yo, and was placed in two starts as 3yo, with one of them being Count Fleet stakes. But I noticed that both his 2yo victories, both over six furlongs, were quite slow - about 1:12. Was he really that slow horse? Or is the reason that he was much better than opponents, or was he kept back? Does anybody know or even remember him racing? I was very surprised when I saw his winning times...
And what about Count Fleet Stakes? There's no record in PQ database for that year, I only know his opponents weren't too good...
Overall - I suppose that his racing career wasn't the main reason while he was exported to Chile... Why he went there? Was it his pedigree, or conformation? I saw several pictures of him, and there are only few stallions I like more... But according to racing informations I have so far, he would be the last horse I would use as stallion...
Thanks for any thoughts and comments!!!
