Kuplet is a strong, lean, high-performance stallion. He performed equally well in standard- and longer-distance races. He also demonstrated excellent results in both winter and summer races. In winter, he finished in the Rokossovsky Prize competition with a time of 2:05.8 and the Russian Winter Prize with a time of 3:10.4. His summer results were 2:03.1 at the Orlov Trotter Festival, 3:09.1 in the Sokolov’s Memorial Prize competition, and 4:16.9 in the Russian Presidential Prize competition.
Kuplet set two records at Hippodrome Paris Vincennes. He was a participant, runner-up, and winner of 44 traditional and special-occasion Orlov Trotter Prizes and Festivals in France. Having competed 108 times in Ukraine, Russia, and France, he finished first 48 times and won 81 prizes in total (1st through 5th places).
Barchuk’s genes, which were almost lost, are repeated in Kuplet’s pedigree nine times (at the sixth, seventh, and eighth degrees of kinship), which helps Russian breeders maintain and further develop Barchuk’s sire line.
The first gets of Kuplet’s offspring at Moscow Stud Farm No. 1 feature record-setters and horses of the speed classes of 2:10, 2:05 and faster. Traditional prizewinners:

The above horses, foaled in small gets in 2009, 2011, and 2012, demonstrate the stallion’s prepotency to pass on his high-speed genes for all distances run in Russian races.
Kuplet’s pedigree on his sire’s side features three Bars Prize winners: Uklon (Kiev), Kabul, and Benzol (Moscow). Kuplet’s sire Uklon sired at least 15 horses of the speed class of 2:10 and four horses of the speed class of 2:05 and faster. They are Kulon 2:04.1 (full brother of Kuplet 2:03.1) at the Ukrainian Stud, and Kuplet 2:03.1, Raund 2:01.2, and Izumrud 2:03.1 (all three at Russian studs).
