Win (1980-2002) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse purchased for $8,000 as a two-year-old that would retire from racing having earned more than $1.4 million.
Win was sired by Barachois who had modest success in racing for his prominent Canadian owner and breeder Jean-Louis Levesque. Barachois was a full brother to Fanfreluche, a 1970 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly and Canadian Horse of the Year as well as a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee. Their dam was the Canadian stakes winner Ciboulette and their sire was the legendary sire of sires, Northern Dancer.
Win's dam was Par Ci Par La, an unraced daughter of U.S. Racing Hall of Famer, Buckpasser. Her dam was Marry the Prince, a multiple American stakes race winner.
Sally Bailie, who purchased Win as a two-year-old gelding in 1982, would be the trainer throughout his racing career. In 1983 she sold a one-third interest to each of Frederick Ephraim and Paul Cornman. Under New York Racing Association (NYRA) regulations, when a horse has multiple owners they must designate a "managing partner" under whose name the horse would race and has been given sole authority for all decisions that would be legally binding regarding the horse and the only person with which the NYRA would deal.
