Pierata (foaled 16 November 2014) is a Group 1 winning Australian thoroughbred racehorse.
Pierata was sold for A$160,000 at the 2016 Magic Millions yearling sale.[2]
As a 3 year old Pierata won the Vo Rogue Plate at Doomben Racecourse. Two weeks later he won the Magic Millions 3 year old Guineas and in doing so collected the largest prize money in the history of Queensland racing, A$ 1.2 million for first place as well as a $500,000 bonus for previous races won.[3]
After 7 unsuccessful performances in Group 1 races, Pierata finally achieved Group 1 success in the 2019 All Aged Stakes at Royal Randwick Racecourse.[4]
In the 2020 World's Best Racehorse Rankings, Pierata was rated on 118, making him the equal 80th best racehorse in the world.[5]
Pierata was retired from racing in 2020 and was acquired by Aquis Farm to stand at their stud in the Hunter Region for a service fee of A$44,000.[6]
