Giacometti (horse)
Giacometti (1971 – after 1985) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In 1974 he became the fourth (and last) horse since the Second World War to be placed in all three legs of the British Triple Crown. Regarded by his stable as a potential "world beater", he was unbeaten as a two-year-old, winning his first race by at least twelve lengths and then taking the Gimcrack Stakes and the Champagne Stakes. As a three-year-old he finished second in the 2000 Guineas, third in the Epsom Derby and second in the St Leger before winning the Champion Stakes. After two defeats in 1975 he was retired to stud in the United States where he made very little impact as a breeding stallion.
==Background==
Giacometti was rangy, good-looking chestnut horse with a short white sock on his left hind leg bred in Ireland by C A Ryan.〔 〕 He was sired by Faberge a French-bred horse who finished second to Baldric in the 2000 Guineas. At stud, Faberge sired the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Rheingold before being exported to Japan. Giacometti's dam Naujwan was unbeaten in two races but came from a relatively undistinguished family, although her great-grand-dam Salecraft was a half-sister of the Derby winner Straight Deal.〔http://www.bloodlines.net/TB/Families/Family1t.htm〕
As a yearling, Giacometti was offered for sale in October and bought for 5000 guineas by Jack Doyle acting on behalf of the Lloyd's underwriter Charles St George.〔 St George sent the colt into training with Captain Ryan Price at Downs House, Findon, West Sussex. He was ridden in the early part of his racing career by Tony Murray.
