Almanzor is the best son of sire sensation Wootten Bassett. Almanzor is a proven source for classic winners including derby winner Manzoice.

This filly was identified by renowned judge Phil Cataldo at the New Zealand Karaka Yearling Sales.

Sire: Almanzor (by Wootton Bassett)

Champion European 3YO Colt of his year.

Triple Group 1 winner: Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby), Irish Champion Stakes, Champion Stakes (Ascot).

By Wootton Bassett, one of Europe’s most exciting sires and now a major force at Coolmore.

Already siring Australasian stakes winners: Manzoice (VRC Derby, G1), Virtuous Circle, Dynastic — proving his ability to throw stayers and middle-distance quality in the Southern Hemisphere.

Dam: Mackenzie Kate (by Savabeel)

• By Savabeel, Australasia’s benchmark sire of middle-distance horses, champion sire multiple times in New Zealand.

• Dam of Ahuriri, making this filly a full sister to a proven quality runner.

• The female family is steeped in toughness and black-type performers, giving a depth of quality that matches perfectly with Almanzor’s class.

Proven mares who already produce quality progeny by the same stallion are gold in the sales ring and on the racetrack — this filly is a carbon copy genetic repeat of a success story.

A scopey, athletic filly with 3YO mile-to-3200m black-type potential, capable of stretching further with maturity. Archie Alexander has indicated that an Adelaide Oaks campaign would be the dream target.
