Filho da Puta (14 April 1812 – 25 August 1835) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. He won nine of his 12 races including the St. Leger Stakes and Doncaster Gold Cup. He also sired St. Leger winner Birmingham and was the leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 1828. He was owned by Sir William Maxwell and later T. Houldsworth. His name means roughly "son of a bitch" or "whoreson" in Portuguese.
Filho da Puta was a bay horse with a white snip and a star foaled on 14 April 1812 and bred by T. Hornby. He was sired by Haphazard, who won three Great Subscription Purses. As a stallion Haphazard also produced 2000 Guineas winners Antar and Reginald, 1000 Guineas winner Rowena and Doncaster Cup winner Figaro. Filho da Puta's dam was Mrs Barnet, a daughter of Waxy. He was purchased by Sir William Maxwell as a foal.
Filho da Puta started his racing career on 21 June 1814 by walking over for the Tyro Stakes at Newcastle. 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. 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. 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. Three days later he beat two opponents to win the Doncaster Club Stakes over two miles. He was then bought for 3,000 guineas 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.
