About

Our Anchorage is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm. He is by Galileo out of Vanzara. As a stakes winner with $438,894 in earnings, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 22 February 2025 at Rosehill Gardens, ridden by Ashley Morgan, he claimed his biggest victory to date in the $250,000 Open Quality, beating Palmetto. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 15% return on investment.
