Coeursamba (foaled 26 March 2018) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse. She showed high-class form as a juvenile in 2020 when she won one race and was placed in both the Prix Six Perfections and the Prix d'Aumale. In the following spring she took the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches.

She was from the first crop of foals sired by The Wow Signal, an Irish-bred stallion who won the Prix Morny in 2014.[4] Coeursamba's dam Marechale showed no racing ability, failing to win in eight starts.[5] She was a female-line descendant of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Pearl Cap, making her a distant relative of Pearl Diver, Belmez, Molvedo and Sleeping Partner.[6]
Racing career
2020: two-year-old season
Coeursamba began her racing career on 25 May when she finished second to Madouss in a contest for previously unraced fillies over 1200 metres at Lyon Parilly Racecourse. Over the same distance at
On 3 October as Saint-Cloud, Coeursamba was put up for auction at Saint-Cloud and was bought for €400,000 by Haras du Saubouas on behalf of Abdullah bin Fahad Al Attiyah.[9] On the following afternoon at Longchamp the filly ran in her new colours for the first time and finished fifth of the twelve runners behind Tiger Tanaka in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac, staying on well in the closing stages.[10] On her final run of the year Coeursamba came home fourth behind the British-trained favourite Lullaby Moon in the Group 3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly Racecourse on 31 October.
2021: three-year-old season
On her first appearance of 2021 Coeursamba finished third behind Tahlie and Alula Borealis in the Prix du Louvre over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 22 April. On 16 May the filly went off a 38/1 outsider for the
Coeursamba was moved up in distance for the Prix de Diane over 2100 metres at Chantilly on 20 June. She never looked likely to win after being denied a clear run in the straight and came home eleventh of the seventeen runners, four lengths behind the Irish-trained winner Joan of Arc.[13] On 24 June it was announced that Coeursamba had been bought by Katsumi Yoshida of Northern Farm.[14] At Deauville in August Coeursamba was matched against older fillies and mares in the Prix Rothschild over 1600 metres. She raced in mid-division before staying on well in the closing stages to come home sixth of the fourteen runners behind Mother Earth. In the Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp in October she finished eighth behind Real World, beaten almost fifteen lengths by the winner.
