13 Mar 2022Almanzor has sired his first elite level performer after the Jamie Richards-trained Dynastic finished the closest of seconds in the G1 Sistema Stakes.
The Karaka Million winner put on a brave show at Ellerslie in his bid to complete a memorable two-year-old double.
Dynastic trailed the leader and was angled off the fence across the top by rider Johnathan Parkes and answered his every call in the run home, only to be denied by a nose in a bobbing finish.
While the colt we are thrilled to share in the ownership of may have come up agonisingly short, he did us all proud.
Almanzor has sired stakes performers Saving Grace and Queen Trezy in the Northern Hemisphere and Dynastic is his leading Australasian representative with Andalus also a Group 2 and Group 3 placegetter.
