Parisot

Parisot (1793 – after 1808) was a Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1796 Epsom Oaks. Parisot was owned by Sir Frank Standish, who won the 1796 Epsom Derby with his colt Didelot. Background Parisot was foaled in 1793 and was sired by The Derby winner Sir Peter Teazle. Her dam, Deceit (foaled in 1784), was bred by Mr Tattersall and was owned by Sir Frank Standish. Deceit produced 13 foals between 1790 and 1808, of which Parisot was her fourth, and the second of eight sired by Sir Peter Teazle. Deceit was a full-sister to the 1786 Oaks winner the Yellow Filly. Parisot's full-sister, the Sir Peter Mare (foaled in 1802), was the dam of Gramarie and the maternal grandam of Derby winner Prince Leopold. Parisot was named after "a famous she-dancer of the day", a French dancer known as Mademoiselle Parisot. Racing career
