Attica Meli
Attica Meli (1969 – after 1988) was an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Owned by Louis Freedman and trained by Noel Murless she won seven of her fifteen races and was regarded as the best British filly of her generation at both three and four years of age. She took time to show her best form but in the second half of 1972 she won five consecutive races including the Yorkshire Oaks, Park Hill Stakes and Princess Royal Stakes. In the following year she finished second in the Coronation Cup and the Hardwicke Stakes before stepping up in distance to record decisive wins over male opponents in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes and the Doncaster Cup. She was retired from racing at the end of 1973 and had some influence as a broodmare.
==Background==
Attica Meli was a large〔 bay mare with no white markings bred by in Ireland by the Sassoon Stud a breeding organisation founded by Victor Sassoon and later maintained by his widow. She was the penultimate European crop of foals sired by Primera, a stayer whose wins included the Ebor Handicap and the Ormonde Stakes, before he was exported to stand in Japan. He was a representative of the Byerley Turk sire line, unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian. Her dam, Come On Honey made little impact as a racehorse but was a very successful broodmare who also produced the Park Hill Stakes winner Royal Hive and Be Sweet, who finished second in the Ribblesdale Stakes and the Sun Chariot Stakes. Come On Honey was a daughter of Honeylight who won the 1000 Guineas and a half sister to Crepello and Twilight Alley.
In 1971 the Sassoon Studs were bought by Louis Freedman. The horses at the Sassoon's Beech House Stud, including the two-year-old Attica Meli, were sent to be trained by Noel Murless. During her racing career the filly was owned by Freedman and trained by Murless Newmarket. She was ridden in all of her major races by Geoff Lewis.
