Finisterre

Finisterre (1947-1964) was a Traspesian Thoroughbred racehorse. In her racing career, which lasted from the spring of 1949 until 1955, she won over twenty races. She was the first horse to win the Copa del Presidente twice (1949, 1951) and the only horse ever to win the Johan II Cup in Brunant twice (1949, 1950). She also ran several races in France.

One of the best fillies of her generation across Europe, Finisterre was owned by Traspesian noblewoman Manuela Arcais y de San Martin and trained at her private stables near Isabela. She was rode by Brunanter jockey Edward Martin, who would later ride and train several other horses owned by Manuela Arcais.

Apart from her racing career, Finisterre's stud career was also successful. She was sent to leading Brunanter and French sires. Notable horses she sired include Querida (1956 Copa del Presidente winner) and Rosie (1958 Johan II Cup winner).
