With 1,046 registered purebred get, he was the leading sire of Arabians for several years after his death. Bask was also one of those rare U.S. National Champion Stallions to sire a U.S. National Champion Stallion. In addition to his national halter title, Bask was named U.S. National Champion Park, U.S. National Reserve Champion Formal Combination, and U.S. National Reserve Champion Formal Driving. And last but certainly not least, Bask left behind an impressive siring record that includes close to 500 champions, of which nearly 200 are National winners. -- by Ristin Berkery 25% of all purebred Arabians registered in the US trace to *Bask -- Roxanne Rogers [Top]

	Kuhailan-Haifi (Kuhailan Kharas x Kuhaila Haifi) In 1930 Prince Roman Sanguszko organized an expedition to Arabia in order to add new blood to his Stud. Four desertbred Arabian stallions were among the horses brought back to Poland in 1931. One of those stallions was Kuhailan Haifi. A blood bay with a bright star in his forehead, Kuhailan Haifi was bred by Khalef el Aouad in Arabia, and foaled in 1924. Prince Sanguszko's agent was Mr. Zientarski and he told of the first time he saw Kuhailan Haifi. "During a three day stay at Abu Draatha I noticed some bay Kuhailat fillies, very equal in type and beautiful indeed. They were sired by a bay stallion, belonging to the Ruala Bedouins in the neighborhood of Jauf...finally they lead in the bay Kuhailan Haifi. It is just the horse I am seeking. Not large, dry, on splendid legs, no trace of cow-hocks. A long neck, a noble head not very small, with distended thin, movable nostrils, a splendid high-carried tail...late in the night the stallion was bought and delivery arranged." Kuhailan Haifi was the best stallion obtained by Prince Sanguszko. Purchased at Jauf, he was truly in the desert, not in outlying regions. Kuhailan Haifi lived but two years after arriving in Poland. He died after siring only 14 foals, the last born in 1935, and only one that year. Of these foals, only five were colts. [Top]

Eleven of his get imported to the US or Canada have captured 25 National honors, most in the Park division, and include Meczet who has National Championships in Formal Driving, Formal Combination, Park and Costume.

Comet's son Grojec was a popular in England while Pohaniec has widespread influence in Sweden. Comet is considered the most important post war stallion in Poland.
