Wonderful Tonight

Wonderful Tonight (foaled 7 March 2017) is a French-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After winning one minor race as a two-year-old she improved throughout the following season to become one of the best staying fillies in Europe, recording victories in the Prix Minerve, Prix de Royallieu and British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes. Retired 10/09/2021. Background Wonderful Tonight is a dark bay or brown filly with a white snip bred in France by a partnership headed by the Ecurie La Cauviniere. In August 2018 she was put up for auction at the Arqana sale and bought for €40,000 by the trainer David Menuisier. The filly entered the ownership of Christopher Wright and was taken into training with Menuisier at Pulborough, West Sussex. She was sired by Le Havre, who won the Prix du Jockey Club in 2009, and whose other foals have included Avenir Certain, La Cressonniere and Suedois (Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes). Wonderful Tonight's dam Salvation showed modest racing ability, winning one minor event from seven track appearances. Salvation's dam Birdie won the Lingfield Oaks Trial and was closely related to Camelot. Racing career
