Description

Seeking a home as a broodmare, Anikery has proven to be a genuine race mare - winning five races during a career that spanned four seasons... forward enough to race four times at two.

Tough and consistent, she is a daughter of the dual Gr.1 winning sprinter Turffontein who, despite never serving big books, did a good job at stud with his seven stakes winners. And what a great start he has made to his career as a broodmare sire... already 11 winners from just 16 runners and three of them are stakes winners!

No surprise to see Turffontein performing so well as a broodmare sire with his six times Gr.1 winning sire Johannesburg also excelling in that department (59 stakes winners including 11 Gr.1 winners) as did his sire Hennessy (80 stakes winners, nine Gr.1 winners)... and his sire Storm Cat; an amazing 308 stakes winners including 47 Gr.1 winners!

Anikery is just the second foal produced by the imported mare Zalmara who is still at stud visiting high class stallions - served last year by Pierata. Her dam, the stakes placed Royal Halo is out of the stakes winner Naked Royalty, in turn daughter of the triple stakes winner Royal Tasha.

This is a consistently classy US family and Anikery has good depth to her pedigree with crosses of the wonderful mares Somethingroyal (dam of Secretariat and Sir Gaylord) and Almahmoud (grandam of Northern Dancer and Hal).

Being Danehill free, she is an easy mare to match up and this is a great chance to secure a talented daughter of Turffontein before everyone notices his stellar broodmare sire record!
