Musket (1867–1885) was an English-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and a Leading sire in Australia and New Zealand.
In England Musket won nine races including the Ascot Stakes before retiring to stud there where he only had limited patronage.
[2] Carbine in his day was considered one of the greatest horses in the world, whose feats included winning the 1890 Melbourne Cup with the impost of 10 st 5 lb in the record time of 3:28¼.
The bloodlines of Musket including Carbine and Trenton, are still evident in many horses racing today.
[5] Musket had his portrait painted by the noted equine artist, Martin Stainforth and it was reproduced in Racehorses in Australia.
