It’s a special win. Mandanaba is the last foal out of her dam. It’s only the beginning of the season, but I’m already thrilled to see this family producing like this.

Owned and bred by Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Mandanaba is the final foal out of her three-time Group 1 winner Mandesha, who was Champion Three-Year-Old filly of 2006.

Mandanaba opened her account at Chantilly in the November of her two-year-old season, where she identified herself as a ‘rising star’ with an impressive six-length success.

On her reappearance the following April, she made all the running in the nine-furlong Gr.3 Prix Vanteaux at ParisLongchamp, finishing three-quarters of a length ahead of the much more experienced Stakes winner Flaming Stone.

“She is a lovely filly who loves to be in a good rhythm, so we wanted to let her do her own thing,” explained her trainer Francis-Henri Graffard. “It was a good performance, but I'm not sure we will go further in trip with her and we might even revert to a mile. Let's wait and see how she comes out of this one, let's also see the results of the other trials for fillies before making a decision.”
