Oaks Heroine Anapurna’s Daughter Sacred Ground Makes Winning Debut at Great Yarmouth

[Wandering Eyes]

Marcstown Ltd and Andrew Rosen's 550,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate Sacred Ground (Kingman), a John and Thady Gosden-trained daughter of G1 Oaks and G1 Prix de Royallieu heroine Anapurna (Frankel), made a winning debut with a last-to-first effort in Monday's bettingsites.co.uk Betting Sites Fillies' Novice Stakes at Great Yarmouth.

Trailing all four rivals after a sluggish break, the 11-8 favourite made headway under pressure to launch her bid approaching the furlong pole and was pushed out to deny long-time leader Food For Thought (Dubawi) by 3/4-of-a-length in ultimately snug fashion.

Sacred Ground is the third of five foals and second winner out of the aforementioned Anapurna, herself kin to G3 Tetrarch Stakes runner-up Dynasty (Danehill Dancer) and Listed Hoppings Stakes third Very Dashing (Dansili). The February-foaled bay's second dam is stakes-winning G1 Fillies' Mile and G1 Yorkshire Oaks placegetter Dash To The Top (Montjeu). Sacred Ground is half to a yearling filly by Palace Pier, who is set to go under the hammer as Lot 25 during Tuesday's opening session of this year's Book 1 sale, and a weanling colt by Dubawi.

 

Bred to be special!
