| Beschreibung: | Sehr kleiner Hengst. He was indolent by nature and responded to firm treatment. Hyperion liked to stand and stare, especially at aeroplanes, and could not abide having his teeth rasped or a dose of medicine. |
| Vererbung: | In fast keinem Vollblut-Pedigree von heute wegzudenken. Besondere Bedeutung erhielt er mit der Zulassung in Trakehnen. Er ist Vorfahr so berühmter Trakehner wie Weltmeyer, Amor und Spezial D. This bonny little chesnut colt is still a household name in racing, and his statue stands in the forecourt of the Jockey Club in Newmarket. Winner of 9 of his 13 races, he followed his wonderful career on the turf by becoming the leading British-bred sire of the 20th century. Champion six times, he would have had even more influence had the peak of his stud career not coincided with the war. His progeny include Godiva, Sun Chariot, Sun Steam, Hypericum, Owen Tudor, Hycilla, Sun Castle and Aureole. His descendants have had an impact on the breed in the USA, New Zealand, Australia, the Argentine and South Africa. |
