About

Zany Girl is a 3yo bay filly from Australia trained by Stuart Gandy, based at Brighton. She is out of the dam Isn’t Life Strange and by the stallion Needs Further. As a stakes winner with total career earnings of $192,425, she is considered a racehorse of above‑average class. On 19 Jan 2025 at Hobart, ridden by Anthony Darmanin, Zany Girl captured her biggest victory to date in the $125,000 Open Set Weight, beating Crack The Shutters. Throughout her career she has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 102% return on investment.
