Perrault (horse)

Perrault (1977–2001) was a British-bred Champion Thoroughbred racehorse who competed successfully in both France and the United States.

Owned by Swiss businessman Serge Fradkoff and the Dutch banker Baron Thierry van Zuylen, a member of the Rothschild family, in 1982 Perrault was sent to race in the United States.

Based in California, under U.S. Hall Of Fame trainer Charlie Whittingham, Perrault won several important races including the prestigious Arlington Million and Hollywood Gold Cup.

Horse of the Year honors until he injured a tendon while competing in the Marlboro Cup and had to be retired.

Nonetheless, his 1982 performances still earned him the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Male Turf Horse.
