Here’s a nice two year old filly by MANHATTAN RAIN, being trained in Perth by Stephanie Bakranich.

Closely related to the Group 3 winner of 8 races CALYPSO REIGN, she’s by the same sire as the Group 2 Golden Slipper winner, SHE WILL REIGN. Plus, she’s a WESTPEED PLATINUM filly too, so she’ll have plenty of bonuses to run for through her two and three year old seasons!

5% shares are $2,510 which includes all expenses incurred to the end of September, 2025.

‘Geisel Park won’t be the only Western Australian farm represented when the first locally-bred two-year-olds by Group 1 sire Manhattan Rain (Encosta De Lago) step out this season.

The former Arrowfield resident covered 68 mares in his debut WA book, with notable support from David Reed, Greenfields Lodge, Rangeview Stud and Bellbridge Park.

Reed has four juveniles with Ravenswood trainer Tara Itzstein, who described them as “good-bodied with the right work ethic” and unlikely to be rushed early. He has a colt named colt Magnificent Mike, a half-brother to his dual stakes winner Magnificent Andy, the current favourite for the $1 million Golden Saddle (1200m) in Kalgoorlie on October 4.

Greenfields Lodge bred six Manhattan Rains, including a colt who is a brother to this year’s Miss Andretti Stakes (Listed, 1200m) winner Man Crush, also set to contest the new Kalgoorlie slot race.

Another filly they produced is the final foal of Group 1 -winning mare Juice (Bertolini). Both youngsters will join leading WA stables.

A half-brother to Redoute’s Choice (Danehill), Manhattan Rain stands at Geisel Park for $5,500, alongside Aysar (Deep Field) ($8,800) and Winning Rupert (Written Tycoon) ($6,600)’.
