Musket (horse)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musket was an English-bred thoroughbred racehorse responsible for siring in New Zealand many of the important horses during the nineteenth century, including the famous Carbine. Carbine in his day was considered one of the greatest horses in the world, whose feats included winning the 1890 Melbourne Cup with a very large weight. The bloodlines of Musket including Carbine, and Carbine's half brother Trenton, are still evident in horse racing today.
