Anabaa Blue (foaled 12 April 1998) is a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was sired by the sprinter Anabaa out of Allez Les Trois, a mare with a very strong middle-distance pedigree. Between September 2000 and October 2002 he ran fourteen times and won four races. After showing moderate ability in two races as a juvenile he showed marked improvement in the following spring. After winning a minor stakes race on his debut, he won the Prix Noailles, finished a close second in the Prix Lupin and then recorded his most significant victory in the Prix du Jockey Club. He was beaten in his three remaining races as a three-year-old, but returned in the following year to win the Grand Prix de Chantilly and finish second in the Prix Foy. He was retired to stud at the end of his four-year-old season and has had some success as a sire of winners.
Anabaa Blue is a bay horse with no white markings bred in the United Kingdom by the French breeders Haras d'Etreham. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Anabaa, the European Champion Sprinter on 1996. Anabaa went on to sire the outstanding racemare Goldikova and the Hong Kong Cup winner Precision. Anabaa Blue was the second foal of his dam Allez Les Trois, who won three races including the Prix de Flore. Allez Les Trois was a half-sister to the 2000 Guineas winner King's Best and to Urban Sea, a mare who won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and produced both Galileo and Sea The Stars.
