To-Agori-Mou
To-Agori-Mou (foaled 22 April 1978) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire who won the classic 2000 Guineas in 1981. He was the best British-trained two-year-old of 1980 when he won the Solario Stakes and was narrowly beaten by the Irish-trained Storm Bird in the Dewhurst Stakes. As a three-year-old he was beaten on his debut but justified his position as betting favourite in the 2000 Guineas. The rest of his season was dominated by a controversial four-race series in which he was matched against the Irish colt Kings Lake. His other major win in 1981 came in the St. James's Palace Stakes, Waterford Crystal Mile and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. In 1982 he was campaigned in the United States without success and was retired to stud where he had little success as a sire of winners.
==Background==
To-Agori-Mou was a "big, rangy, attractive" dark brown horse with no white markings bred by the Rathduff Stud in County Tipperary, Ireland. His sire, Tudor Music, was a top-class sprinter whose wins included the July Cup: as a breeding stallion his record was not impressive, with his only previous Group Race winner being Orchestra, whose wins included the John Porter Stakes. To-Agori-Mou was by far the best horse produced by Sarah Van Fleet, a mare who won five races over hurdles. Sarah Van Fleet was a great granddaughter of the influential broodmare Sister Sarah, whose other descendants include St. Paddy, Flying Water, Russian Rhythm, Workforce, Nearctic, Shadayid, Swain, Love Divine, Brian Boru and Sixties Icon.
As a yearling, the colt was sent to the sales and was bought for 20,000 guineas by the trainer Guy Harwood,〔 making him by far the most expensive of his sire's offspring sold in 1979. The colt entered the ownership of the Greek restaurateur Andry Muinos, who had just sold her three-year-old Ela-Mana-Mou to the Ballymacoll Stud for £500,000. She named the horse To-Agori-Mou (το αγόρι μου), the Greek for "My Boy". The colt was trained at Pulborough, West Sussex by Harwood who, at the time, was noted for his modern approach to training, introducing Britain to features such as artificial gallops and barn-style stabling. To-Agori-Mou was ridden in most of his major races by the British jockey Greville Starkey.
