Almanzor Colt Purchased From Tattersalls October Yearling Sale
The northern hemisphere yearling sales have been a happy hunting ground for Champion Thoroughbreds over the last 3 years, with some high quality yearlings purchased for excellent value. 

On Tuesday evening, the team, through agent Cathy Grassick were able to secure Lot 867, a lovely Almanzor colt, out of Oasis Dream mare Angel Vision (IRE) for 75,000. This colt is a half-brother to Gr2 Coventry Stakes Royal Ascot winner Berkshire Shadow (GB) who has recently been imported to Australia to race for the Maher/Eustace training partnership. 

Almanzor (by Wootton Bassett) who was crowned Champion New Zealand Two-Year-Old Sire and Champion New Zealand First Season Sire in 2021/22 produced Gr.1 Victoria Derby winner Manzoice, Gr.3 Championship Stakes winner Cheval D'Or and Karaka Million 2YO winner Dynastic in his first New Zealand crop. On the track, Almanzor won 3 Group 1's beyond 2000m and accomplished  the title of Champion 3YO Colt in Europe, Ireland & France in 2016.

This colt is a lovely physical with a great walk. He comes from a strong female line, out of a mare who has already produced a stakes performer from just two runners. 

He is expected to arrive in Australia in November. More details will be released in the coming weeks.
