Fard (horse)

Fard (February 1992 – 2003) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his upset win in the 1994 Middle Park Stakes. As a two-year-old in 1994 the colt showed promise by winning three of his first six races, but also showed a marked tendency to veer left or right under pressure. In the Middle Park Stakes the application of blinkers appeared to solve his problems and he recorded a decisive victory at odds of 33/1. In the following year he was campaigned over sprint distances and failed to win in four starts. He then became a breeding stallion in South Africa where he had some success as a sire of winners.
