Superb finisher in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, being the only horse to complete the final 
200m in less than 11 seconds, Onesto has joined the Haras d'Etreham to embark upon his stallion career in 2024.

_____________________________

With his natural speed, he made an immediate impression from his first steps
on the track, winning easily by two lengths first time out over 1600m.

At 3, 
after a seasonal debut in the Gr.3 Prix de Fontainebleau, he demonstrated a powerful turn of foot
to lift the Gr.2 Prix Greffulhe, passing the whole field in just a few strides to win cosily by two lengths.
The son of Frankel shone for the first time at the highest level with victory in the Gr.1 Grand Prix de Paris.
Once again displaying his formidable acceleration, he beat 5 winners of 12 Group races including the French colt Simca Mille
and the Roger Varian-trained dual Gr.1 winner Eldar Eldarov.

Two months later, Fabrice Chappet’s charge lined up to conquer the Gr.1 Irish Champion Stakes,
and finished a narrow second after a memorable battle for victory with Luxembourg,
beating dual Gr.1 scorer Vadeni, triple Gr.1 winner Mishriff, as well as Alenquer and Broome, both successful at the highest level.

At 4, 
after an excellent return to action this year in the Gr.1 Prix du Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois over a mile,
his excellent third place in the Gr.1 Arc de Triomphe confirmed his status as an extraordinary racehorse.

Onesto is by the exceptional Frankel and will be his best son in France.
Hailing from a Juddmonte family, he is out of a daughter of the full sister to Hasili,
a foundation mare of one of the greatest bloodlines of modern times,
responsible notably for Dansili and Banks Hill.

The blue-blooded Onesto is none other than the first stallion out of a dam by Sea The Stars.
