Hector Protector (foaled 1988 in Kentucky) was an American-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and top sire of racehorses in Japan.[1] He was a full brother to the Champion filly Bosra Sham, who was trained by Henry Cecil. She was a champion miler and despite her bad feet she won the 1000 Guineas Stakes G1 over 1600 meters. The great trainer Henry Cecil considered her to be the best filly he ever trained. He was the leading European two-year-old of 1990 when he was undefeated in six races.
