Queen's Hussar was a bay horse with a small white star[1] officially bred by G. S. Stephens at the Highclere Stud.
Apart from Queen's Hussar, the best of his progeny was Major Rose, a stayer who won the Chester Cup and the Cesarewitch Handicap as well as being placed in two runnings of the Champion Hurdle.
[4] In the spring of 1963, Queen's Hussar was tried over sprint distances and finished third in the Palace House Stakes over five furlong at Newmarket.
Queen's Hussar then ran in the Sussex Stakes (then restricted to three and four-year-olds) over one mile at Goodwood Racecourse on 31 July.
Ridden by the Australian Ron Hutchinson he was given little chance and started a 25/1 outsider[5] in front of a crowd which included Queen Elizabeth II.
[3] Queen's Hussar raced three times as a four-year-old in 1964, recording his only win in the Cavendish Stakes at Sandown Park Racecourse.
