Tesio, F.

Unlocking the Secret to Breeding Fast Thoroughbreds Federico Tesio (1869 - 1954) is the most successful breeder of Thoroughbred horses in the history of horse racing. The horses he bred at his Dormello Stud on the banks of Lake Maggiore in northern Italy continue to have a genetic impact on Thoroughbreds in every country of the world. It is estimated that the blood of his horses is found in about 70 percent of today's Thoroughbreds. What is so remarkable about Tesio's success is that he was not a man of great wealth. He maintained a small band of inexpensive broodmares that the experts considered t0 be modestly bred. He rarely patronized fashionable sires and stood no stallions of his own. How could a man of such modest means and with such modest bloodstock turn out the likes of Ribot and Nearco that continue to appear prominently in the pedigrees of today's most successful Thoroughbreds? The truth is that the Tesio formula remains elusive.
