About
Pounce is a 3yo bay filly trained by L O'Sullivan & A Scott in Matamata. She is by the stallion Almanzor out of the mare Caminata. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $93,519, she is considered to possess above‑average talent. On 5 Sep 2026 at Ellerslie, Craig Grylls rode Pounce to her biggest victory, capturing the $150,000 3yo F Open Set Weight and beating Silhouette. She has consistently delivered value to bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 242% return on investment.
