A lot are still around.  They got scattered all over the place after that series.

Most were never fast enough to compete in the USA, no matter what class. Rene Allard had the fastests.

Not exactly.   Allard only had Alpha D'Urzy who never won anything significant.  Oakes had Deo who was fast and raced a lot for a lot of trainers.  Bongiorno won the series with Ursis Des Calliones who was old and still races. 

Altogether 19 horses competed in that series.   2 of them only raced once or twice.  7 more were racing up to last year and the other 12 are racing now or have raced this year.  Very Very Fast is an open class trotter in the midwest at the moment.

A much clearer explanation. Your first sentence says it all, for me.

Most french trotters just get sent back to France. Might come over here for a big race or 2 but will probably get sent back. It's not even that they are inferior, it's that they are breed for 1 1/8+ races. Would love to see Face Time Bourbon come over for breeders crown in a few years tho, he can go as fast as anyone.
