South Africa, October 17 – Opening her account at Turffontein in South Africa on Thursday was promising three year-old filly Tamaanee, a $40,000 Inglis Classic Summer Book Sale purchase from the Yarraman Park draft.
A three year-old filly by Teofilo (IRE), the Sean Tarry trained Tamaanee dashed away to win the 1450 metre maiden by four and a quarter lengths after finishing second at her only previous run.
She runs for Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa’s Al Adiyaat South Africa (Pty) Ltd and carries his yellow and blue colours.
Foaled and raised at Yarraman Park for Pedrille Thoroughbreds, Tamaanee is the first winner for Cangino, a winning half-sister to Champion Australian First Season Sire I Am Invincible.
Yarraman Park sold a Magic Albert yearling colt at Magic Millions this year for Pedrille Thoroughbreds for $55,000 from Cangino and she has a yearling filly and filly foal to follow by Dream Ahead (USA).
