Full Sail (horse)

Full Sail was bred and owned throughout his racing career by the 6th Earl of Rosebery.^[1] He was foaled March 14, 1934.^[2]

Fairway, Full Sail's sire, was a successful racehorse, having won many important stakes races and been a champion every year he raced. He also proved to be a successful sire, eventually leading the British general sire list four times.^[3]

Fancy Free, Full Sail's dam, was a winner on the track, but was more notable for her breeding career. Two years after Full Sail, she foaled a full brother to him in Blue Peter, who would go on to be a leading three-year-old, winning four of four races that year, including the 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby, and Eclipse Stakes.^[4]

Full Sail was considered to have good conformation.^[5] He was a bay horse with white pasterns on his hind legs.^[4]

Full Sail was a good two-year-old, winning the National Breeders' Produce Stakes. It was his only win, from five starts, of the year.^[5] He also finished second in a race and third in the July Stakes. In the Free Handicap of 1936, he was rated sixth.^[1]

At age three, he ran second in the St. James's Palace Stakes. He also managed one win in seven starts.^[5]

Full Sail ran three times at age four, winning the March Stakes and running second once.^[1][5]
