Latest Update – 19th Nov ’24 from Annabel and Rob
We could not be more pleased with this stunning girl. She is a robust, powerful unit yet with a beautiful feminine head. Currently in work at Annabel and Rob’s, she is ticking over nicely and it won’t be long until we see her strutting her stuff at the races. Very exciting!
NOTE: Farnan has hit the ground running… his son, North England scored a Gr3 placing at Randwick and he’s now backed that up with a Gr3 victory in the $1m Inglis Golden Gift.
Information
This beautiful filly by FARNAN was purchased from the Inglis Classic Sale. This flashy girl is headed to Annabel Neasham. With her model looks and a strut to match, she is a gorgeous daughter of Gr.1 Golden Slipper winner, Farnan.
She is from a Group winning mare who hails from a lovely international family. She was a winner at 2YO and her victories were from 1400-1700m. We were so wrapt to be the one’s who were on her, when the hammer went down!
This filly is built big and strong with a fantastic walk on her. This filly’s pedigree page is absolutely covered in black type, which comes with a large value increase should she go on to add a black type to her resume in her career. She is bred on a similar pattern as Group 1 winners SNITZEL, LUCKYGRAY, MAXFIELD, ABSOLUTLEY, VESPACIANO, REDIENER and ABBEY MARIE.
Our filly passed 100% on her x-rays and clinical examination and was rated as low risk and suitable for syndication.
Sire
FARNAN by Not A Single Doubt. Timeform rated him the single most dominant champion juvenile of the century. By sire-of-sires Not A Single Doubt, Farnan is the epitome of a precocious speed sire.
Rated 122 by Time form – headed the 2YO Timeform ratings to be Australia’s pre-eminent Champion 2YO of the 2019-2020 season.
Winner of five races at two, four at stakes level with a career earnings of $2.5 million. He dominantly won the 2020 Golden Slipper with a time of 1:10.19.
Dam
This filly’s mare ENSTONE finished her career with 4 wins, all of which other than her maiden were black type wins. She also placed 2nd in 3 black type races.
Enstone is out of the mare LA SUENA who produced 3 foals to race, all 3 winning at a stakes level.
Trainer
Growing up in the Northamptonshire village of Croughton in the United Kingdom, Annabel honed her horsemanship skills through eventing, show-jumping and hunting.
It was the British jumps scene that first hooked her into racing, avidly following National Hunt events such as the Cheltenham Festival.
In 2016, Annabel took up the opportunity to travel to Australia – for what was meant to be a working holiday. She never left, and now can’t imagine being anywhere else.
After six months with Gai Waterhouse, Annabel relocated to the Caulfield stable of Ciaron Maher. Learning from one of the best horsemen in the country, Annabel was able to work with quality Group 1 winners such as Jameka and Merchant Navy. Maher soon put her in charge of the Sydney branch of the stable, which was established in 2018. Under Annabel’s watch, the stable recorded more than 50 victories in New South Wales in its first two seasons and unveiled a string of high-quality young horses such as Dubious, Prague, Away Game, Holyfield and Cellsabeel. The strong results paint a clear picture of Neasham’s training talents. Her two years at the helm of Ciaron Maher Racing’s Sydney stable have also familiarised her with her surroundings at Warwick Farm, where she was granted 36 boxes to begin her solo training career in the 2020-21 racing season.
In 2018, a notable demonstration of her riding and horsemanship capabilities, Annabel won the famously gruelling Mongol Derby.
The Mongol Derby is the world’s longest horse race, run over 1000 kilometres across ten days. In an extraordinary test of stamina and skill, riders spend 13 or 14 hours in the saddle per day. Annabel teamed up with Adrian Corboy, another highly capable horseman who works as Maher’s breaker, to score a momentous victory.
This supreme achievement means that Neasham can lay claim to having ridden a Derby winner – now she wants to train one. Since Annabel has started training, she has achieved 7x Group Ones, 8x Group Twos, 2x Group 3’s and 9 listed races.
