Cankoura

2022 f. g. Persian King - Candarliya (Dalakhani)

Entraîné par Francis-Henri Graffard

Cankoura inherited her grey colouring from dam Candarliya, a Group 2 wining daughter of Dalakhani who was also runner-up in the Gr.1 Prix Vermeille.

From the first crop of Persian King, Cankoura is a half-sister to three other winners, including Group 3 winner Candala and Stakes-placed Carini.

Cankoura made her two-year-old debut towards the back end of 2024, winning on her second attempt at Chantilly.

She returned to the track with aplomb at three, winning her seasonal debut by nine lengths. On her first try at Stakes level, she finished an admirable fourth, not far behind the winner, but two weeks later achieved her first piece of black type when winning the Listed Prix Finlande at Chantilly by a length.
