What’s In a Name: Omnia Munda Mundis

3rd-Fontainebleau, €22,000, Mdn, 11-12, unraced 2yo, f, 9fT, 1:58.95, sf.
OMNIA MUNDA MUNDIS (GB) (f, 2, Australia {GB}–Regina Mundi {Ire} {SP-Ity}, by Montjeu {Ire}) Sales history: €190,000 Ylg ’19 ARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €11,000. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton. 1ST-TIME STARTER.
O/B-San Paolo Agri-Stud SRL (GB); T-Fabrice Chappet.

Omnia Munda Mundis could be translated from Latin as “everything is pure to the pure.”

The expression comes apparently from a letter of St Paul, but has been made sort of famous by a remarkable scene in Alessandro Manzoni’s I Promessi Sposi, probably Italy’s greatest novel. In the episode in question, a God-fearing friar reprimands his fellow clergyman Brother Christopher for arriving in his convent in the middle of the night with two women who are trying to escape the predatory clutches of Don Rodrigo, the baddie of the story. The sanctimonious friar’s reprimand is along the lines of “What will the people think of this?”.

“Omnia Munda Mundis”, the sudden riposte from hero of the novel and purity personified Brother Christopher, shuts up the petty pedant for good. Three brilliant little words, and a brilliant name for this tenacious 2-year-old winning filly by Australia and Regina Mundi (assonance with her daughter’s name, but Latin for “Queen of the World”). Congrats.
