Filho da Puta

Started his racing career on 21 June 1814 by walking over for the Tyro Stakes at Newcastle.[6] In September he beat Agapanthus and a filly by Clinker to win a Sweepstakes of 20 guineas each over the last mile of the Pontefract course.[7] These were his only two races as a two-year-old.

Filho da Puta returned to the track as a three-year-old at the end of March, when he won a Sweepstakes of 100 guineas each at Catterick Bridge. Restoration finished second and a filly by Shuttle was last of the three runners in the one and half mile race.[8] In the Autumn he won the St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse, beating fourteen rivals. Earl Fitzwilliam's Orville colt finished second, with Fulford third and Shepherd fourth.[9] Three days later he beat two opponents to win the Doncaster Club Stakes over two miles.[10] He was then bought for 3,000 guineas[11] by T. Houldsworth and in his final race of the season he won the four-mile Richmond Cup. He beat Doctor Syntax into second place, with the Luck's All gelding finishing third of the ten runners. Filho da Puta had started the race as the 1/3 favourite.[12]

In April Filho da Puta was beaten for the first time in his career when he lost to Sir Joshua in a 1000 guineas match race over one mile at Newmarket.[13] In the summer he was beaten by Doctor Syntax in the Preston Gold Cup, before returning to Doncaster in October, where he four horses in a Sweepstakes of 50 guineas each over the St. Leger course.[14] Later in the day he started as the odds-on favourite for the Gold Cup over four miles. He won the race from Leopold.[15] At Richmond he beat Rasping and Clinkerina to win the Dundas Stakes.[16] Later in the day he could only finish third behind Leopold and The Duchess in the Gold Cup.[17]

Filho da Puta never raced in 1817 due to a leg injury, but he was kept in training.[1] His final race came in 1818 when after starting as the heavy favourite, he was beaten by Cerberus in a match race over two miles at York. After York he was retired to stud.[18]
