Description:
The Thoroughbred owner, breeder, and trainer Federico Tesio would be a legend even if he had been content to rest on his laurels in 1939, the year after his colt Nearco achieved lasting fame as an undefeated champion. But Tesio – considered to be one of the greatest and most influential breeders in the history of the sport – was far from finished. In fact, late in his life, Tesio would breed a champion even greater than Nearco!
