Anabaa's Legacy Goes Back to Back
Today's Geelong meeting has seen another Ready to Run graduate salute the
judge with Annaba's Legacy thrashing his rivals in the $20,000 Lamby's
Restaurant & Bar Class 1 Handicap (1203m).
 
Jumping well from the barriers, Anabaa's Legacy (Anabaa x Sea Song) showed
a clear intent to lead with jockey Remi Tremsal taking him straight to the
front. Unchallenged throughout the run, Anabaa's Legacy hit the top of the
straight a length in front. At the furlong pole he was out by two lengths
but with a strong kick for good measure he was eased down to the line to
win by an easy four-and-a-half lengths.
 
Coming off a last start four-length win, the Dean Binaisse trained Anabaa's
Legacy was making his third race day appearance today, with the victory
taking his winning tally to two.
 
Bought by Dean Binaisse from New Zealand Bloodstock's 2009 Ready to Run
Sale for $100,000, the son of Anabaa was pinhooked from the Karaka Premier
Sale and offered by George and Maryanne Simon's Mana Park.
 
Mana Park has a considerable representation with 20 two-year-olds entered
this year, the largest draft of its six-year participation at this Sale.
Amongst them are a half-brother to Group 1 winner Rockdale (Lot 36) and a
Fast n Famous colt out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Allez Wonder (Lot
318).
 
Anabaa's Legacy is out of the Fasliyev mare Sea Song, a half-sister to the
Dual Group 1 winner Ball Park and Tears for Tristram, the dam of Group 2
winner Danabaa. His third dam Segal is the dam of the stakes winning mare
Slater, the dam of Group 2 winner Deposition and stakes winner Accuse.
 
New Zealand Bloodstock's Ready to Run Sale of 2YOs will be conducted at the
Karaka sales centre in Auckland on 16 & 17 November. The Breeze Ups were
