Bred by John W. Galbreath and raced by his Darby Dan Farm, Primonetta was a full sister to the 1963 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner, Chateaugay.
She rebounded to beat the great Bowl of Flowers by more than five lengths in her winning effort in the Alabama Stakes.
Primonetta closed out her racing career with a victory in the November 4, 1962 running of the Falls City Handicap.
Of her five foals, the best runner was Darby Dan Farm's Cum Laude Laurie, a daughter by Hail To Reason.
[1] Primonetta died of a heart attack on January 16, 1993, at Darby Dan Farm, less than a month before her thirty-fifth birthday.
