Almanzor – Summer’s Day 1yo Filly

Almanzor Filly in Perth!

Trainer: Stephanie Bakranich

At the 2026 William Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in Sydney, this filly by Almanzor was very high on our shortlist of preferred buys.

She’s a ripper on type, and as she presented so well not just on sale day, but also all through the week that we there, she was a no brainer to buy at the price. Our consulting vet described her as “an elegant, balanced, scopey filly of a good size with a very good walk and a good attitude”.

Looking at her pedigree, she’s from a Stakes winning Darci Brahma mare who won 6 races to 1400m and is a half sister to horses that have won in Hong Kong up to 1650m. Every dam on the page is a winner, and that includes her third dam CANNSEA, who was a Group 1 winner to 1200m, and her fourth day BEACHSIDE who won the prestigious Group 2 VRC Wakeful Stakes (2000m). I’d suggest she’s a miler in the making, but also, because of the Almanzor factor, may just possibly stretch out to get 2000m and more. These are exactly the type of horses we like to buy, and for the auction price of $55,000, our opinion is that she was extremely good value and very well bought.

She’ll be trained in idyllic rural surroundings by Stephanie Bakranich who is based in Bullsbrook where her horses do most of their early conditioning work. Stephanie makes regular twice weekly trips to Ascot with her team for gallops. and always welcomes owners to join her there. She has the best vets and farriers at her command, and it’s absolutely guaranteed that your horses will receive the very best care and attention under her guidance.  You’ll enjoy having your horse trained by Stephanie!
