Gritty effort by Almanzor mare

Tietar produced a gallant performance under a hefty weight at Grafton to double her winning tally and post her first from new quarters.

The Almanzor mare had broken her maiden from the Victorian stable of Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr before relocating to Matthew Dunn’s New South Wales operation and gained a deserved victory over 1600 metres.

With Jett Newman’s claim, Tietar still had to shoulder 61.5kg and stayed on gamely to score after hitting the front early in the run home.

“The pan was to be forward with the weight and Jett rode her beautifully,” stable representative Sharon Bolton said.

“She’s done a good job for us and is very tough.”

Tietar is owned by Roll The Dice Racing and partners after the syndication company went to A$220,000 to secure her with agent John Foote at the Gold Coast Magic Millions Yearling Sale where she was offered on our behalf by Bhima Thoroughbreds.

Her dam is 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
