The "Big A" was a genuine modern champion, claiming nine Group 1 races and winning with ease

Anamoe is a legendary, retired, nine-time Group one winning champion Australian thoroughbred racehorse. Affectionately known as "The Big A", Anamoe is considered one of the most decorated Australian produced stallions ever. He is one of only two Australian horses to win Group one races at ages two, three and four since the 1990s. In 2023 he was named Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year. A homebred for Godolphin, Anamoe is a half-brother to Irish stakes-winner Anamba and is out of the 2007 Australasian Oaks winner Anamato (Redoute’s Choice). His sire is Street Boss by Street Cry. Anamoe was clearly the best male racehorse from the successful Street Cry branch of the Mr Prospector sire line. He showed great early speed as a two-year-old, combining an on-pace racing style with decisive acceleration which are all key common denominators among successful sires. Trained throughout his career by James Cummings, Anamoe retired as the winner of 14 of his 25 starts, which saw him accrue $11,127,025 in career prize money earnings.

Anamoe finished fifth in his race debut in the Listed Debutant Stakes at Caulfield in October 2020 as a two-year-old, before opening his account in the Listed Merson Cooper Stakes at Sandown a month later. Winning jockey Damien Oliver thought after the win it was pretty nice effort. After a third placing in the Blue Diamond Stakes, Anamoe travelled to Sydney and won the Todman Stakes. He then ran second in the Golden Slipper to Stay Inside before winning the Group 1 Sires' Produce Stakes.

Anamoe resumed racing as a three-year-old in September 2021 at Kembla Grange in 'The Run to the Rose.' He won the race by a neck margin with jockey James McDonald aboard. After going under by a short margin in the Golden Rose a fortnight later, Anamoe was sent to Caulfield to contest the Caulfield Guineas on the in October 2021. Starting favourite, jockey Damien Oliver positioned the three-year-old colt perfectly after contending with a wide barrier. In the straight he launched a barnstorming finish over the final 200m to win by a half a length. In October, Anamoe placed second in the prestigious Group one Cox Plate behind State Of Rest with Verry Elleegant third. Anamoe's jockey Craig Williams protested against the result due to interference, however the objection was controversially dismissed by stewards.

Anamoe raced again in January 2022, contesting the Expressway Stakes over 1200m metres at Rosehill, where he finished in third place beaten less than one length. He raced again three weeks later at Rosehill and this time was successful in the Hobartville Stakes over 1400 metres. After finishing a close second at his next start in the Randwick Guineas, Anamoe then contested the Rosehill Guineas over 2000m in March. Starting favourite, Anamoe comfortably won the race by six-and-a-half lengths. Anamoe next contested the Queen Elizabeth Stakes but finished in last place due to the heavy track conditions.

Anamoe resumed from a break as a 4yo and won his fourth Group one race when successful in the 2022 Winx Stakes. Anamoe would then go on to contest in the Gr.1 George Main Stakes which he won comfortably. He would then win his sixth Group One, running over the top of I'm Thunderstruck and Zaaki in the Caulfield Stakes. He would proceed on to conquerer the Gr.1 Cox Plate in a dominant display after a controversial protest cost him the race the year before. He would then contest the Mackinnon Stakes being defeated by Zaaki in a valiant effort. He was spelled not returning again until the autumn of 2022 as a 7 time Group One winner.

Anamoe would then come back and win the 2023 Gr.2 Apollo Stakes, winning it with ease. He would then win his eighth Group one, destroying the field in the Gr.1 Chipping Norton Stakes and earned Group one win number nine, winning the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes, overcoming a three wide run to finish over the top of the field. He would then contest his 25th and final race, being defeated by English raider Dubai Honour in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, spoiling the farewell party in front of a home crowd for the Australian Champion.

After contesting the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Godolphin and connections made the decision to retire Anamoe to stud early instead of sending him to Royal Ascot to contest races in England before retirement. Anamoe was retired to Darley Australia. Anamoe's first up stud fee is the highest of any stallion retired to stud in history. His first up stud fee was $121,000
