Cavallieri is a Thoroughbred racehorse best known for defeating Veandercross in the 1991 New Zealand Derby.
Veandercross had been close to unbeatable throughout his three year-old season, but in the Derby of 1991 it was Cavallieri who won the race, narrowly beating the favourite in a desperate photo finish.
Cavallieri never really tasted the same glory again in the remainder of his career, retiring with just three wins to his name. He stood at stud in New Zealand briefly before being sold overseas.
