Almanzor filly wins in style

Our promising homebred Almanzor filly Tietar capped the encouraging start she has made to her career when successful at Sale.The three-year-old had twice finished in the money from her previous four outings and while unplaced in the G2 Edward Manifold Stakes in the spring, was respectable in finishing seven lengths off Zardozi who subsequently claimed the G1 VRC Oaks.In her latest outing, the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained Tietar settled third last under rider Thomas Stockdale.She picked up ground across the top and, after cornering wide on the track, ran the 1700 metres out strongly to claim the thick end of the stake.Tietar is a daughter of the English-bred Zamindar mare Phenetic, a winner in France who we paid 38,000gns for at the 2014 Tattersalls December Mares’ Sale.She is a half-sister to G3 Prix de Fontainbleau winner Glaswegian and the family of the G1 Prix de la Floret winer Etoile Montante and Country Grammar, successful in editions of the G1 Dubai World Cup and the G1 Hollywood Gold Cup.Tietar was a A$220,000 purchase for Roll The Dice Racing and agent John Foote at the Gold Coast Magic Millions Yearling Sale where she was offered on our behalf by Bhima Thoroughbreds.Phenetic had a filly by Hello Youmzain last year and is now in foal to Sword Of State.
