Pilsudski (horse)
Pilsudski (foaled 23 April 1992) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and active sire who was bred in Ireland, but trained in the United Kingdom during a racing career which lasted from 1994 to 1997. In a four season career he progressed from winning modest handicap races to become regarded as one of the best racehorses in the world. He won eleven races in five different countries, six of them at Group One level. He also finished second in successive runnings of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
==Background==
Pilsudski is a "big, imposing" bay horse, although not a particularly beautiful one- Walter Swinburn described him as "no oil painting". He was bred in Ireland by his owner's Ballymacoll Stud near Dunboyne, County Meath. Pilsudski was sired by Polish Precedent, a son of Champion sire Danzig out of the Troy mare Cocotte.
Polish Precedent won the Prix Jacques le Marois and the Prix du Moulin in 1989 and went on to sire the winners of almost five hundred races. Apart from Pilsudski, his most notable offspring was the champion miler Rakti. Apart from Pilsudski, Cocotte produced at least seven other winners, most notable Fine Motion, the winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup and the Shūka Sho.
Pilsudski was trained throughout his career by Michael Stoute at Newmarket, Suffolk. He was jointly owned by Lord Weinstock and his son Simon, until Simon's death in May 1996. Pilsudski was named after the Polish politician and patriot Józef Piłsudski (1867-1935) who was known for his love for horses.
