Toquete was something of an in-and-outer, but when he was at his best, he proved talented and fast. He was sent to Saudi Arabia for stallion duty but does not appear to have sired anything with ability remotely approaching his own.
Race record
8 starts, 2 wins, 2 seconds, 1 third, 126,250 Argentine pesos
1992:
Honors
Pellegrini Award, Argentine champion miler (1992)
As an individual
A dark bay horse, Toquete was a Group 1 winner on both dirt and turf.
As a stallion
According to records compiled by The Jockey Club, Toquete sired 10 winners (17.2%) from 58 foals while standing in Saudi Arabia; records may be incomplete.
Connections
Toquete was bred by Haras El Candil and raced for Caballeriza Orion. He was ridden throughout his racing career by Jose A. Aguero. He was exported to Saudi Arabia in 1993 and was still in service at least as late as 2006.
Pedigree notes
Sired by 1984 Dee Stakes (ENG-G3) winner Trial by Error (by Caro), Toquete is outcrossed through five generations. He is a half brother to 1995 Premio America (ARG-G2) winner El Limbo (by Parade Marshal) and to Let Me Be (by Profit Key), dam of 2006 Premio Republica de Panama (ARG-G3) winner Lucky for Me (by Lucky Roberto). He is also a half brother to Balalaika (by Bdashd), second dam of Argentine Group 3 winner First Blues.
Lumiere, the dam of Toquete, is a half sister to multiple Argentine stakes winners Malay and Museliere (both by Malambo). The last-named mare is the dam of 1991 Gran Premio Nacional de las Americas O.S.A.F. (ARG-G1) winner Lin Yutang (by Laramie Trail, 1993 Premio Comparacion de La Plata (ARG-G3) winner Tenacious (by Trial by Error), and Argentine listed stakes winner Love for Sale (by Laramie Trail), the 1994 Argentine Broodmare of the Year. Museliere is also the dam of Malefique (by Parade Marshal), dam of 2006 Argentine champion 3-year-old male Dancing for Me (by Lucky Roberto), and of Miou Miou (by Laramie Trail), second dam of Argentine Group 3 winner Caballe.
Lumiere and her siblings are out of Romina (by the Sideral horse Rigolo), a full sister to multiple Argentine stakes winner Romanza. The sisters were produced from Tracala (Closworth x Traca, by The Yuvaraj), whose half sister Tezeta (by Anaram II) is the dam of Brazilian Group 2 winner The Garland (by Gay Garland) and the second dam of Argentine Group 2 winner Taciturna Bar. Tracala is also a half sister to Traquita (by Imbroglio), dam of Argentine Group 3 winner Carmelo (by Logical) and second dam of Brazilian Group 3 winner Abajo.
