Intello (foaled 14 April 2010) is a German-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After winning two minor races as a two-year-old he has won the Feilden Stakes, Prix du Jockey Club and Prix Messidor in 2013. Intello is trained by André Fabre and owned by Wertheimer et Frere.
Intello is a bay colt bred by Wertheimer et Frere and foaled on 14 April 2010. He was sired by Galileo, who won the Epsom Derby, Irish Derby and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2001. Galileo has since become one of the world's top sires and has been champion sire of Great Britain and Ireland four times. Amongst his other progeny are Teofilo, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Cape Blanco, Frankel and Nathaniel. Intello's dam is Impressionnante, a daughter of Danehill. Impressionnante was trained by Carlos Laffon-Parias and won the Prix de Sandringham in 2006. Intello was trained by André Fabre.
Intello's first race was in a 1600-metre maiden at Longchamp on 22 September 2012, which he won by a short-head. His only other race as a two-year-old was a conditions race at Maisons-Laffitte. He started as the odds-on favourite and beat Kapstadt by half a length to win the race.
