An extraordinary racehorse, triple Gr.1 winner and European Champion at three years old,
Almanzor also boasts an impeccable physique.
His first yearlings in 2020 were sold for an average price of 100,000€ and
he was the leading first-season sire on average price at Tattersalls Book 1,
Magic Millions on the Gold Coast and Karaka in New Zealand.
In 2021, his second crop of yearlings were once again in high demand,
as proven by an average price of 110,000€, even higher than in 2020,
and a top price of 425,000€ during Tattersalls Book 1 in October.
In 2022, his yearlings changed hands for figures reaching 155,000€, 150,00€, 140,000€ and 135,000€,
and were notably purchased by the likes of Stroud Coleman, Middle Park, Jean-Claude Rouget,
Meridian International, Bandford Bloodstock, Broadhurst Agency, John Foote, etc.
His two first generations on the track have included Classic prospects and Black-type performers such as
Queen Trezy, 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Saint-Alary, Lassaut, runner up to Simca Mille in the Gr.2 Prix Niel,
the multiple Group-placed Around Midnight, the excellent Rajapour, and other promising winners or
Stakes performers Castle Way, Le Boss, Circle of Fire, etc.
His second crop boasts a ratio of 70% placed horses to runners, and 43% winners to runners,
with 10% of runners earning black type.
Almanzor is represented by almost 90 two-year-olds in 2023.
