Fiorente (foaled 2008) is a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Ireland and trained in England and Australia.
Fiorente was originally trained by Sir Michael Stoute. After winning the Princess of Wales's Stakes in 2012,[1] he was transferred to Australia to be trained by Gai Waterhouse.
In the 2012 Melbourne Cup he ran second to Green Moon. Returning to racing in the autumn he ran once over 1400 metres in the All Aged Stakes, finishing third to All Too Hard.
In the 2013 Spring carnival he won the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes and then ran third in the 2013 Cox Plate. He followed this by winning the 2013 Melbourne Cup, ridden by Damien Oliver.[2][3][4]
