Fillies have an enviable record when contesting a Derby. In the 2025 South Australian Derby, OTI’s Femminile finished too strongly for the boys. In the Queensland Derby a month later, Chase Your Dreams was a close-up 3rd for Team Hayes, with Femminile a short distance behind her.
Why mention Chase Your Dreams? Her three-year-old half-sister, Almorina, is in training for Symon Wilde and has similar Classic dreams in the OTI colours for the Adelaide and Brisbane Carnivals. Having developed into a gorgeous filly and shown quality in her trackwork, our confidence in this filly’s ability is justified.
Symon Wilde has been patient and thorough with her development. Her most recent preparation concluded with trial experience at Terang, and she’s since gone from strength to strength with a race debut set to take place in the coming months.
Almorina is a daughter of Almanzor, a stallion OTI has enjoyed tremendous success with through Athabascan (multiple G3 winner, G1 Sydney Cup runner-up). Almorina is out of the O’Reilly mare Dare To Dream, making her a half-sister to Chase Your Dreams (G1 placed), mentioned above, and to Follow Your Dreams, who has also attained black-type performance.
A 5% interest in the filly is priced at $9,000 + GST, therefore 10% is $18,000 + GST. These figures include all associated costs of her training through to February 28, 2026, as well as insurance cover to July 31, 2026.
