Mangoustine
Mangoustine (foaled 30 March 2019) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2021 she was undefeated in three races including the Listed Criterum de Lyon and the Group 3 Prix Miesque. After sustaining her first defeat when running third on her three-year-old debut she returned to winning form to take the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches. Background Mangoustine is a grey (officially "bay") filly bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux, Lordship Stud & Qatar Bloodstock. In September 2020 the yearling was consigned to the Arqana Deauville Select Sale and was bought for €46,000 by the bloodstock agent David Redvers. The filly was subsequently owned by Ecurie des Monceaux, Qatar Bloodstock and Tony Parker's Infinity Nine Horses. She was sent into training with Frederic Rossi. She was from the eleventh crop of foals sired by Dark Angel, who won four races including the Mill Reef Stakes and the Middle Park Stakes as a two-year-old in 2007 before being retired to stud at the end of the year. Dark Angel's other offspring have included Lethal Force, Mecca's Angel, Battaash and Harry Angel. Mangoustine's dam Zotilla showed no racing ability, but was a half-sister to Flotilla, who won the Breeders' Cup
