Snow Fairy (foaled 12 February 2007) is a retiredThoroughbredracehorse who was bred in Ireland and trained in England byEd Dunlop. She made little impression on the racecourse as a two-year-old, winning only one race out of six. She started her three-year-old season well, winning a listed race. Snow Fairy then startedThe Oaks at 12/1. Ridden byRyan Moore, she won by a neck. Again ridden by Moore, she won theIrish Oaks easily. When taking on older horses for the first time in theYorkshire Oaks, she finished second toMidday. Following a run in theSt Leger, she went to Japan and won theQueen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup followed by theHong Kong Cup. As a four-year-old in 2011, she won theQueen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup for a second time, but also placed in a number of top races, including third in theArc de Triomphe and second in theIrish Champion Stakes. She stayed in training for the 2012 season and won the G1Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville in August (later disqualified), and then the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown in September.
Snow Fairy was retired in July 2013 after aggravating a tendon injury.[1] Her owner announced that the filly would be sent to Islanmore Stud inCounty Limerick for breeding.[2]
