Allegretto (foaled 31 January 2003) is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for her performances over extended distances. After finishing fifth on her only appearance as a two-year-old she developed into a high-class performer in the following year when she won the Lancashire Oaks. She reached her peak as a four-year-old in 2007 when she defeated male opposition to take the Henry II Stakes, Goodwood Cup and Prix Royal-Oak. Although she was less successful in 2008 she added a final major victory in the Park Hill Stakes.
