Count Pahlen (horse)

Count Pahlen (12 February 1979 – after 1987) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a two-year-old in 1981 he was one of the best colts of his generation in Europe, winning two of his five races including a victory over a strong field in the Group One William Hill Futurity. He won the Blue Riband Trial Stakes on his three-year-old debut, but his form deteriorated thereafter. He raced in North America in 1883 and 1984 but had very little success, winning one minor race from twenty-four attempts. He later stood as a breeding stallion in France but had no success as a sire of winners.
