About
Zany Girl is a 3yo bay filly from Australia trained by Stuart Gandy. She is by the stallion Needs Further out of the dam Isn’t Life Strange. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $232,925, she is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 19 January 2025 at Hobart, jockey Anthony Darmanin rode her to her biggest victory, securing the $125,000 2yo Open Set Weight, beating Crack The Shutters. She has been a profitable pick for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded an 18% return on investment.
