Minnie Hauk (foaled 13 April 2022) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2024 she finished second on her debut before winning a maiden race at Leopardstown in October. She improved in the following year to take the Cheshire Oaks before winning the Epsom Oaks on her fourth career start.
Minnie Hauk is a bay filly with a white blaze and two white socks bred in Ireland by B V Sangster. As a yearling in September 2023 she was consigned by the Camas Park Stud to the Goffs Orby sale and was bought for €1,850,000 by M V Magnier on behalf of the Coolmore Stud.[2] She was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle and races in the ownership of the Coolmore partners Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor. She was named after an American opera singer. The name had previously been used for an American mare foaled in 1975 who was the ancestor of several important winners.[3]
She was from the ninth crop of foals sired by Frankel, an undefeated racehorse whose other progeny have included Cracksman, Adayar, Soul Stirring and Hurricane Lane.[4] Minnie Hauk's dam Multilingual finished sixth on her only racecourse appearance but did better as a broodmare, producing the Summer Mile winner Tilsit. As a daughter of the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner Zenda Multilingual was a half-sister to Kingman and a close relative of Oasis Dream.[2][5]
