SIRE: ANAMOE
Just the fourth Australian Horse Of The Year in three decades to stand at stud, Anamoe is undoubtedly one of the best locally bred horses to have been made available to local broodmare owners in some time.
The handsome Darley home-bred, the winner of nine Gr.1 races, did not have the luckiest start to his career when badly held up for runs in the Listed Debutant Stakes but he quickly atoned with a Listed Merson Cooper Stakes victory.
Proving himself to be one of that season’s best juveniles, Anamoe won the Gr.1 ATC Sires Produce Stakes and the Gr.2 Todman Stakes and was game in the placings in the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes and the Gr.1 Golden Slipper.
As a spring three-year-old he raced on four occasions and what a campaign that was… a Gr.2 Run To The Rose win, a Gr.1 Golden Rose second, a Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas victory and a controversial and unlucky Gr.1 W.S Cox Plate second in which he so famously protested.
Racing another five times at three, Anamoe added the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas and the Gr.2 Hobartville Stakes to his record and he was back even stronger at four taking our four consecutive elite level races – the Winx Stakes (beating Fangirl and Profondo), the George Main Stakes, the Caulfield Stakes (defeating I’m Thunderstruck, Zaaki, Mr Brightside and Alligator Blood) and, deservedly, the W.S Cox Plate.
Racing four times in his final campaign, Anamoe won the Gr.2 Apollo Stakes, the Gr.1 Chipping Norton Stakes and the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes – seeing out his admirable career with a game Gr.1 Queen Elizbeth Stakes third.
Retiring to stud as the winner of over $12.1 million, Anamoe won 14 of his 25 starts and was in the placings on eight occasions. He won Gr.1 races at two, three and four and was able to win over a variety of distances between 1000m and 2040m.
The highest priced first season sire in Australian history, Anamoe has exciting times ahead, ready to prove himself off the track as he did on it.
DAM: FLEET DOVE
This filly is the second foal for the talented mare Fleet Dove whose first foal, a daughter of Zoustar, was purchased by the Ciaron Maher stable for $380,000 as last year’s Magic Millions.
Served last spring by Spirit Of Boom after foaling another Zoustar filly, Fleet Dove won four of her 22 starts and over $215,000 in stakes
Straight into form at two, Fleet Dove was an easy Sunshine Coast debut winner, following that win up with a second at the same track before a determined victory in demanding conditions at Doombem.
Back at three, Fleet Dove was a first up Sunshine Coast winner before three promising runs in stakes company. Given a bit of time, she added a Doomben win to her resume next time in whilst continuing to race well in black-type contests.
Fleet Dove is a daughter of the high class stallion Not A Single Doubt – sire of 85 stakes winners, 16 of whom are Gr.1 winners including the star stallion Extreme Choice. And he is also faring well as a broodmare sire with the Gr.1 winners Schwarz and Seasons Bloom amongst the 29 stakes winners already produced by his daughters.
SECOND DAM: FLEET RIANE
Fleet Dove is one of the four winners (from five runners) produced by Fleet Riane – a consistent racemare who raced 26 times, winning four races and filling the placings on six occasions.
In the placings at two of her three two-year-old starts in Victoria, she then ventured interstate – winning at metropolitan level in Adelaide and Brisbane.
Still at stud – served last spring by Jacquinot having produced three consecutive Spirit Of Boom foals, Fleet Riane should have another winner soon with her three-year-old Quickzou right in the thick of things at his first two starts for the Tony Gollan stable.
THIRD DAM: REANNAG
Racing just five times, Reannag – a daughter of the Golden Slipper winning high class stallion Canny Lad – showed plenty of natural ability.
Debuting in a Morphettville two-year-old contest, she put five lengths on her rivals and at her next two starts was not far away in stakes company.
Producing six foals, she had five runners – all of whom were winners. Her city placed dam Dove Vai by another Golden Slipper winner in Marauding, also did well at stud with all five of her runners being winners. Her daughters and granddaughters have fared nicely – producing the stakes winners Ofcourseican (Gr.1 Coolmore Classic), Gimmethegreenlight (Gr.1 winner in South Africa), Persan, Gregers and Girl Guide. Further back this is also the family of one of the best mares to race on Australian soil, the champion Emancipation.
PEDIGREE ANALYSIS
Anamoe is the finest example of the successful Street Boss/Danehill cross, one which has produced another 25 stakes winners including the Gr.1 horses Tentyris, Pinstriped and Elite Street.
And one which is part of the great success story that is the Street Cry/Danehill combination which has been represented by 153 stakes winners including 27 Gr.1 winners… such as Bella Nipotina, Jimmysstar, Treasurethe Moment, Farnan and Shocking.
It has been no surprise to see this cross flourish with Danehill being bred on a 3 X 3 cross of his own third dam Natalma – the dam of Northern Dancer – whilst Street Cry’s high achieving sire Machiavellian is out of a mare bred on a 3 X 3 cross of her own third dam Almahmoud – the dam of Natalma and the grandam of Halo.Danehill appears in Anamoe via his most prolific sire son Redoute’s Choice and that horse – who was high class on and off the track – is really proving his worth as a line-breeding force.
The sire of Fleet Dove’s sire Not A Single Doubt, Redoute’s Choice appears 3 X 3 in this filly’s pedigree and horses bred this way are performing exceptionally well… of the 80 winners by stallions who have Redoute’s Choice as a broodmare sire out of granddaughters of Redoute’s Choice, ten are stakes winners including the Gr.1 sprinter Schwarz. Complementing this Redoute’s Choice cross is a female strain of Danehill, dam sire of Fleet Dove’s dam sire Barely A Moment.
All four of Street Boss’s runners out of Not A Single Doubt mares are winners and he has also done well with Fleet Riane’s sire Barely A Moment – out of one his daughters siring the durable Listed winner Street Life.
The Golden Slipper winning successful stallion Canny Lad, the dam sire of Redoute’s Choice, is also duplicated here – he being Fleet Dove’s second dam sire.
There is also good female strength to this pedigree with Anamoe’s dam bred on a 5 X 4 cross of the terrific mare Flower Bowl via her son His Majesty and grandson Whiskey Road and the former is the dam sire of Danehill.
Anamoe’s fourth dam sire Hermes is a grandson of the high class broodmare Felucca, also fourth dam of Sea Anchor whose outstanding son Red Anchor is Fleet Dove’s fourth dam sire. Six of the 68 runners whose pedigrees combine those two horses are stakes winners including the Gr.1 winning two-year-old Sheeza Belter.Adding strength to this filly’s pedigree are her background duplications of the influential matriarchs La Troienne, Marchetta, Gibside Fairy, Mumtaz Begum, Frizette, Sunshot, Black Ray, Malva, Prunella and Aloe.
