00:00A son of Frenkel and out of an influential Judd Mott family, Onesto was purchased in
00:07America with the goal of one day producing a race record to match his family's stellar
00:11credentials.
00:12He did just that as a TDN Rising Star and Group 1 winner and has retired to Uraja, Etreham
00:18for 2024.
00:19It's funny because, you know, when you talk to breeders, you feel that the last few years
00:25Some good horses have done it coming from a lighter pedigree and it was more the racing
00:33and the stallion that were important and a horse like that, like him, like Onesto, retires
00:39with coming from one of the best Judd Mott family and suddenly, you know, breeders come
00:44to us and say, you know, we're so excited with this horse because he's so well bred.
00:48So it is very important to breeders and, you know, it gives him credit.
00:54You know, he's out of City Star mare also.
00:56He's doing a really good job as a Breed Mercer.
00:59So he's a mix of some of the best starline.
01:01He's a really good choice, I think.
01:03We got a funny phone call from Hubert Guy, you know, after he breathed, actually, you
01:10know, in Ocada in Florida and he said that, you know, he saw something special from a
01:15horse that was not meant to do that, that early in his career and since he saw that
01:20breed, so he was mainly him and Jean-Étienne Dubois at the time that he put a syndicate
01:25together.
01:26We saw something a bit different, a bit special and that's how it all started.
01:33Onesto got a rising star from the TDN when he won first time out.
01:38I mean, we were all excited to see him run.
01:41The way he did it was that, you know, great turn of foot.
01:44So it was, you know, the dream was really alive then.
01:48In the spring of his true career, when he won the Group 2, you know, he confirmed himself
01:53as a classic prospect but, you know, every time things went his way, he showed how good
02:00he was and that turn of foot and that he was a true Group 1 horse and Group 1 winner.
02:06The Grand Prix de Paris is becoming one of the main race day in France of the year and
02:11he beat a really good field that day, you know, with that strong acceleration, you know,
02:17the way he does.
02:18He won a really good second in the Champions League in Ireland, also, you know, then the
02:24Arc the following year.
02:25So, no, it's been a great journey, yeah.
02:28It's good because all of the people that were involved in his career are staying involved
02:32for his stallion career and, you know, he's got such a good pedigree, you know, so, you
02:37know, he could really make it as a stallion.
02:40A lot of breeders came to see Onesto on the farm and they've all been very happy with
02:45him.
02:46He's a really good walker.
02:47To me, Onesto looks like a miner, you know, he's got, you know, good depth and balance
02:51and great strength and he walks really well, he's athletic, he's a horse that, you know,
02:57he's travelled the world.
02:58He's been to Japan, he's been to America, he's been to the Brisbane in Florida, so,
03:03you know, he's got a great mind and he's settled really well, yeah.
