Exciting New Stakes-Winner for Almanzor

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 19

Cambridge Stud shuttler Almanzor (Fr) will have multiple stakes runners in Australia and New Zealand on Saturday and struck overnight in France with an exciting new stakes-winner with Aga Khan homebred colt Rajapour winning the Listed Prix Isonomy (1600m).

Trained by Jean-Claud Rouget, Rajapour made it three wins from three starts when cruising clear to win by two lengths.

 

Rajapour is a half-brother to Group placed Ridenza and is the best of three winners from Group II winning Rock of Gibraltar mare Raydara.

He is the fifth stakes-winner for Almanzor, who has six entries for the NZB Ready to Run Sale.
