Ancient Aztec as a yearling
Third at his first run back to impressive I Am Invincible filly Asharani at Ipswich last month he franked that good form when scoring by a half neck in the three year-old maiden over 1200 metres as favourite.
A $130,000 Magic Millions Book Two purchase for Aquis Farm / Blue Sky Bloodstock from the Newhaven Park draft, Ancient Aztec is the most expensive yearling by quite a margin for Albrecht.
He was a successful pinhook having first been sold as a weanling for $16,000 at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale by Riverslea Farm.
Ancient Aztec is a half-brother to this year's Champion Hong Kong Sprinter Ivictory and is the second winner for Inca Lagoon, an unraced Hussonet (USA) daughter of stakes-winner Tyrolean.
He is the fifth winner for Albrecht, whose offspring are headed by stakes-placed Sanglier.
By Redoute's Choice from a full sister to Lonhro, Albrecht stands at the affordable fee of $5,500.
