Background

Sambuca Classica is a small chestnut mare with a star, strip, a sock on 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.
