Stakes win caps hat-trick for Almanzor filly

Almanzor celebrated his 35th stakes winner on Sunday when three-year-old filly Lameloise made it three consecutive victories, winning the Listed Prix Vulcain over 2500 metres at Saint-Cloud.

In just her fourth career start, Lameloise produced another impressive performance, scoring by a length and a quarter to secure the milestone victory.

Trained by Yann Barberot, Lameloise is out of Lapulced’acqua, a daughter of Epaulette who won at Group 3 level over 1800 metres and was crowned Italy’s Champion Older Female in 2019.

The victory also marked Almanzor’s ninth individual stakes winner for the calendar year, further enhancing the record of the champion son of Wootton Bassett, who currently sits second on the New Zealand sires’ table.
