Kotashaan (foaled May 4, 1988 in Orne, France) was an Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in France and earned Champion honors in the United States.
He was bred and raced by brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, owners of the House of Chanel in Paris. Kotashaan was sired by Darshaan, winner of the 1984 French Derby and the Leading sire in France in 2003. His dam was Haute Authorite, a daughter of the American runner Elocutionist who in 1976 won the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series, the Preakness Stakes.
Trained by Criquette Head-Maarek, the world's most successful female trainer, Kotashann made his racing debut on November 16, 1990. He finished second in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud Racecourse then two weeks later got his first win at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse. At age three in 1991, he debuted in April with a fifth-place finish in the Prix Noailles then won his next two starts, capturing the listed Prix de Courcelles and the Group 3 Prix La Force. Kotashann contested his first Group One race on June 23, 1991, finishing third to Subotica in the Grand Prix de Paris. He followed this up with another third-place effort in the August 15th G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano and a second-place finish on September 9 in the G3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte.
