Sambuca Classica (foaled February 21, 2004, in New York) is a Thoroughbred mare best known as the dam of 2016 Champion Two-Year-Old Colt Classic Empire.^[2] She was an unsuccessful race mare, not winning in eight career starts and even starting once in a Maiden Claiming, but has proven to be more successful as a broodmare, with all five of her foals to race to date being winners.^[3]

Background

Sambuca Classica is a small chestnut mare with a star, strip, a sock on her her right front and left rear leg, and a coronet mark on her right rear. ^[4] She was raced by her breeders, Anstu Farm, for her three career starts in 2006, with her best finish being fourth-place. She was purchased by Steven and Brandi Nicholson, but did not race again until August of her three-year-old season. She failed to finish higher than third-place in her five subsequent starts. She was retired in 2008 to become a broodmare.
