Sanedtki (1974 – after 1993) was an Irish-bred, Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who was trained in France for most of her career before moving to the United States for her last two races. Although she was capable of competing at the highest level against specialist sprinters, she showed her best form over distances between 1400 metres and 1600 metres.
Having been bought cheaply as a yearling, she showed promise as a two-year-old in 1976 before emerging as a top-class performer in the following year. As a three-year-old she won the 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes, Prix d'Astarte and Prix de la Foret, finished third in the 1000 Guineas and the Prix du Moulin and was sold for a hundred times her original price. Sanedtki reached her peak as a four-year-old in 1979, taking the Prix Edmond Blanc, Prix de Ris-Orangis, Prix du Moulin and a second Prix de la Foret, as well as finishing second in the July Cup and the Vernons Sprint Cup. She ended the season as the highest-rated older female racehorse in Europe by both the official International Classification and the independent Timeform organisation as well as being named Champion Racehorse of Europe. She was sent to race in California in 1979 where she won both her races including the Grade I Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap. In all she recorded ten wins, seven seconds and five third places in twenty-five races.
After her retirement from racing she became a broodmare, first in the United States, and then in Ireland, but was not particularly successful, producing only two minor winners from five recorded foals.
Sanedtki was a bay mare with a narrow white stripe and a white sock on her right hind leg bred in Ireland by Jim Powell (1912–2012). She was from the first crop of foals sired by Sallust an outstanding miler who won the Sussex Stakes and the Prix du Moulin in 1972. Sallust went on to sire the colt Tap On Wood, whose wins included the winner of the 1979 2000 Guineas. Sanedtki's dam, Fortlin, and grand-dam Creepy Crawley were moderate racehorses, but the latter was a half-sister of the July Cup winner Vilmoray.
