| Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland (1999, 2001) | |
Miswaki (February 22, 1978 – December 17, 2004) was an American bred Thoroughbred racehorse who was a Group One winner in France as well as a stakes race winner in the United States. He was an important sire of 97 stakes race winners and was the Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland in 1999 and 2001.
Bred in Florida, Miswaki was sired by the very important Mr. Prospector who would become a two-time leading sire in North America and a nine-time leading broodmare sire in North America. His dam was Hopespringseternal, a daughter of Buckpasser, the 1966 American Horse of the Year and Hall of Fame inductee who became a four-time leading broodmare sire in North America.
Miswaki was purchased and raced by Etti Plesch, a prominent horsewoman in Europe who, as at the end of 2011, is the only female to have won the Epsom Derby twice, doing it first in 1961 with Psidium then with Henbit in 1980. In addition, she won the 1970 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Sassafras.
Miswaki was conditioned for racing by one of France's leading trainers, Francois Boutin. Raced at age two, he made four starts on grass in 1980, winning the Prix Yacowlef at Deauville-La Touques Racecourse in his debut. After a runner-up finish in Deauville's Group One Prix Morny, he won the Group One Prix de la Salamandre at Longchamp. Sent to England's Newmarket Racecourse for the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, Miswaki ran third to winner, Storm Bird. For his three-year-old campaign in 1981, Miswaki was sent to race in the United States where he made nine starts for Hall of Fame trainer, Woody Stephens. The colt won three Allowance races plus the ungraded Charles Hatton Stakes at Elmont, New York's Belmont Park.
