Contents

Background

Full Sail was bred and owned throughout his racing career by the 6th Earl of Rosebery. [1] He was foaled March 14, 1934. [2]

Fairway, Full Sail's sire, was a successful racehorse, having won many important stakes races and been a champion every year he raced. He also proved to be a successful sire, eventually leading the British general sire list four times. [3]

Fancy Free, Full Sail's dam, was a winner on the track, but was more notable for her breeding career. Two years after Full Sail, she foaled a full brother to him in Blue Peter, who would go on to be a leading three-year-old, winning four of four races that year, including the 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby, and Eclipse Stakes. [4]

Full Sail was considered to have good conformation. [5] He was a bay horse with white pasterns on his hind legs. [4]

Racing career

Full Sail was a good two-year-old, winning the National Breeders' Produce Stakes. It was his only win, from five starts, of the year. [5] He also finished second in a race and third in the July Stakes. In the Free Handicap of 1936, he was rated sixth. [1]

At age three, he ran second in the St. James's Palace Stakes. He also managed one win in seven starts. [5]

Full Sail ran three times at age four, winning the March Stakes and running second once. [1] [5]

Stud career

Ricardo and Ezequiel Fernandez Guerrico purchased Full Sail at the culmination of his racing career in 1938. He was exported to Argentina to stand at their new Haras Argentino, [5] and his first foals were born the following year. [6] He was immediately successful, and founded a notable sire line in South America. [5]

Full Sail led the Argentine General Sires List in 1946 and 1948 and was second in 1944, 1945, and 1947. He led the Argentine Broodmare Sires List in 1955, 1957, and 1958, second in 1959 and 1964, and third in 1954. [1] In total, he was on the general sire list 14 times and sired the winners of 615 races. [5]

He is noted to have nicked well with daughters of Macón. [5]

Full Sail died in early 1953 and was buried on the lands of Haras Argentino. [1]

In the Roman-Miller dosage system, Full Sail is considered an Intermediate Chef-de-Race. [1]
