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.
[5] Sanedtki began her racing career by finishing third to Assez Cuite in the Prix Yacowlef over 1000 metres at Deauville Racecourse in August.
She was then moved up in class for the Group Three Prix des Réservoirs over 1600 m at Longchamp a month later and finished second, a length behind the 20/1 outsider Edinburgh.
[4] In April 1977, Sanedtki was sent to England and was matched against Cloonlara, the leading Irish filly of the previous season, in the 1000 Guineas Trial at Ascot Racecourse.
She raced in England for the third time when she contested the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot in June but ran poorly to finish fourth behind Orchestration.
On 23 October, the filly made her first appearance for her new owners when she started a 16/1 outsider for the Group One Prix de la Forêt over 1400 m at Longchamp.
Eighteen day later, she started odds-on favourite for the Prix de Ris-Orangis at Évry and won by half a length from Steel Band.
On 1 May she was beaten into second place when attempting to concede ten pounds to the four-year-old colt Faraway Times in the Prix du Muguet at Saint-Cloud.
[6] On her return to Europe, Sanedtki, now racing in the colours of Serge Fradkoff, was moved down to sprint distances for the July Cup at Newmarket Racecourse in which she produced a strong late run but failed by a neck to overhaul the favourite Solinus.
On 5 August she started odds-on favourite for the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville, but finished third of the twelve runners behind King of Macedon and Polyponder.
On 3 September, Sanedtki started favourite for the Prix du Rond Point over 1600 metres at Longchamp but was beaten into second place by the British colt Homing to whom she was conceding six pounds.
On 22 October, Sanedtki attempted to become the first horse in twenty-four years to win consecutive runnings of the Prix de la Forêt, and started 11/10 favourite in a field which included King of Macedon, Faraway Times and Polyponder.
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1976: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries.
