MONTEVERDI
Monteverdi
Monteverdi was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was the leading European two-year-old of 1979, when he was unbeaten in four races including the National Stakes, Ashford Castle Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes. His three-year-old season was a disappointment as he failed to win in four races, finishing second in his first two races and then running unplaced in the Irish 2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby. He was then retired to stud where he had little success as a sire of winners.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Monteverdi (horse)
