PEDIGREE UPDATES

Anaheed winning at Randwick on debut!!!

Last week in our weekly ‘Prime Dispatch’ to our owners I highlighted the performance of two fillies very closely related to our Sizzling filly out of Distant Symphony.  Well it didn’t take long for one of the two, Anaheed to announce her arrival with a resounding win at Randwick last Saturday where she trounced a field of well-bred 2yo’s. 

The most interesting point to this is that Intrepidacious was far more impressive that Ahaheed in winning her trial. Perhaps you should watch out for her. Anaheed is out of Distant Symphony’s ½ sister and Intrepidacious is out of a daughter of a ½ sister to Distant Symphony.  I’m not surprised this family has taken off with these close relations to Distant Symphony being very well mated which can only help our filly in the long term.  I love it when families I have bought into start getting strong results.  This is what I wrote last week about this family.

‘Randwick trainer John O’Shea would have been well pleased with the effort of Intrepidacious, a daughter of Northern Meteor’s Caulfield Guineas winning son Shooting to Win.

She jumped fast for James McDonald to take up the lead and when challenged in the straight found another gear to forge away from that rival to win the 794 metre gallop by two lengths in 48.97 seconds.

Intrepidacious was a $180,000 Magic Millions Book Two purchase from the Yarraman Park draft for Randwick Bloodstock/ Mystery Downs. She was bred by Steve Gillard and is the first foal of Courageous Kitty, an unraced Fastnet Rock mare from Group I winner Rostova that was bought out of Inglis Easter as a yearling for $400,000.

Interestingly, the previous trial was won by Fastnet Rock filly Anaheed, who is a full sister to Courageous Kitty. 

A homebred for Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Anaheed improved on her first trial last month when she finished fourth, sharing the lead and then working strongly to the line under a hold to score a neck win in 48.26 seconds over blue-blooded filly Paris, a half-sister by Snitzel to Group I winner English.

Tim Stakemire purchased Rostova for the Sheikh for $850,000 at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in 2015 when she was in foal to Frankel, a mating that produced promising three year-old colt Farooq. Rostova has a yearling colt by Medaglia D’Oro (USA) and is due to foal to Snitzel.
