Sanedtki
Sanedtki (1974 – after 1993) was an Irish-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was trained in France for most of her career before moving to the United States for her last two races. Although she was capable of competing at the highest level against specialist sprinters, she showed her best form over middle distances. Having been bought cheaply as a yearling, she showed promise as a two-year-old in 1976 before emerging as a top-class performer in the following year. As a three-year-old she won the 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes, Prix d'Astarte and Prix de la Forêt, finished third in the 1000 Guineas and the Prix du Moulin and was sold for a hundred times her original price. Sanedtki reached her peak as a four-year-old in 1979, taking the Prix Edmond Blanc, Prix de Ris-Orangis, Prix du Moulin and a second Prix de la Forêt, as well as finishing second in the July Cup and the Vernons Sprint Cup.

Sallust (1969–1987) was an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed good form as a two-year-old in 1971, winning two of his five races including the Richmond Stakes, but appeared to be just below the highest class. He ran poorly on his three-year-old debut but then won the Diomed Stakes, Prix de la Porte Maillot, Sussex Stakes, Goodwood Mile and Prix du Moulin. By decisively defeating opponents such as High Top and Lyphard he established himself as the best specialist miler in Europe and was rated the best three-year-old of 1972 by Timeform. He returned to Ireland for his stud career and had some success as a sire of winners. Background Sallust was a dark chestnut horse with a narrow white stripe and three white socks standing 16 hands 1½ inches high bred by the Ballymacoll Stud in County Meath, Ireland. He was one of the best horses sired by the Queen's stallion Pall Mall, who won the 2000 Guineas in 1958. Sallust's dam Bandarilla won thre ...
