Pourparler (1961 – after 1983) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic 1000 Guineas in 1964. In a racing career lasting from the spring of 1963 until July 1964, the filly ran ten times and won three races. As a two-year-old, Pourparler won two important races in England and finished third in the Prix Robert Papin in France. In the following spring, she was beaten in her first two races before winning the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. She was beaten in her two subsequent races before being retired to stud, where she had limited success as a broodmare.
Pourparler was a bay mare bred in County Limerick, Ireland, by Peter FitzGerald. She was sired by Hugh Lupus, a French-bred stallion who won the Champion Stakes in 1956. Hugh Lupus, who was inbred 2x3 to the stallion Tourbillon, suffered from low fertility at stud but sired several other good horses including the St. Leger winner Hethersett. Pourparler's dam, Review, won only two minor races but was an outstanding broodmare: her other progeny included Fleet (1000 Guineas), Democratie (Prix de la Forêt) and Display (Cheveley Park Stakes, Coronation Stakes).
As a yearling, Pourparler was sold to Beatrice, Lady Granard, and sent into training with Paddy Prendergast at his stable at the Curragh in County Kildare.
