Legatissimo (foaled 22 April 2012) is a British-bred Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After showing some promise as a juvenile, she showed marked improvement in the spring of 2015 and recorded her first major success in the 1000 Guineas. On her next appearance she was narrowly beaten when favourite for the Epsom Oaks. After another narrow defeat in the Pretty Polly Stakes she returned to top form to win the Nassau Stakes and the Matron Stakes
Legatissimo is a bay filly with a large, diamond-shaped white star and white coronet markings on her hind legs bred by the Hertfordshire-based Newsells Park Stud. She was sired by Danehill Dancer, who won the Phoenix Stakes, National Stakes and Greenham Stakes before becoming a very successful breeding stallion. His other progeny have included Choisir, Mastercraftsman and Dancing Rain. Legatissimo's dam Yummy Mummy, won only one minor race at Sligo Racecourse from seven starts in 2007 and 2008, but was a full-sister to Fame and Glory, whose wins included the Irish Derby, Coronation Cup and Ascot Gold Cup.
In October 2013, the yearling filly was sent to the Tattersalls sale and was bought for 330,000 guineas by Michael Vincent Magnier acting for the Coolmore organisation. The filly was sent into training with David Wachman at Goolds Cross, County Tipperary.
