Count Fleet, this nearly undefeated colt won the Triple Crown in 1943. He ran in very small fields, including 10, 4 and 3. He won the Belmont by 25 lengths, but was retired after injuring his left leg in this race.
This horse is a prime example of a Thoroughbred with successful conformation. His legs are long and straight, but with short cannon bones for a more powerful stride. His neck is also tied in high to his body. However this could be combated by his croup appearing higher than his withers, shifting his center of gravity forward onto his front legs. His shoulders appear strong and also laid back to increase his stride length.
