Group 1 Winners Lezoo And Prosperous Voyage To Be Offered During Sceptre Session At Tattersalls In December

Group 1 winners Lezoo (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}) and Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) will be offered at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale on Dec. 4-7. The pair will sell during the Sceptre Session on Tuesday, Dec. 5, for co-owners Marc Chan and Andrew Rosen.

The Cartier European Champion 2-Year-Old Filly in 2022, Lezoo won the G1 Cheveley Park S. over subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies heroine Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never) and G1 1000 Guineas victress Mawj (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). The Chasemore Farm-bred filly is out of Group 3 winner Roger Sez (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}), who has also produced the Group 3-placed winner Navassa Island (Ire) (Territories {Ire}). She was originally a 77,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3 yearling, and made €110,000 at the Arqana May Breeze-Up Sale as a juvenile.

A winner of last year's G1 Falmouth S. over Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Prosperous Voyage was also second in the 1000 Guineas at three and the G1 Fillies' Mile at two to that foe. Bred by Lynch Bages and Camas Park Stud, the £65,000 Goffs Orby yearling also won the G3 Princess Elizabeth S. and was third in the G2 Duke Of Cambridge S. at Royal Ascot this term. Her dam, the Mizzen Mast mare Seatone, is a winning half-sister to three stakes winners, led by dual Grade I winner Senure (Nureyev).

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Lezoo and Prosperous Voyage were both outstanding Group 1 winners with their Group 1 wins made even more impressive by the calibre of the fields they defeated. They are both from top class international families and it is an honour to be asked to offer two fillies of this quality at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale on behalf of Marc Chan and Andrew Rosen. There is no doubt that they will be among the highlights of this year's Sceptre Sessions which received international acclaim in their inaugural year.”

Advertise Colt Foal Sparkles Brightest At The Sapphire Sale

Advertise (GB)'s colt foal (lot 123) was the most expensive lot on the day during Tattersalls Ireland's Sapphire Sale at Fairyhouse on Saturday. The Sapphire Sale featured Flat-bred yearlings, foals and broodmares and was the final sale of the year for Tattersalls Ireland.

Knocked down for €38,000 to Micheal Orlandi on behalf of Ballyphilip Stud, the bay is a half-brother to three winners out of his winning dam, herself a Fusaichi Pegasus half-sister to champion and Classic heroine Misty For Me (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), and champion and juvenile Group 1 winner Ballydoyle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) among others. Part of the sale's top conignore Olive O'Connor's draft (five sold for an aggregate of €79,500), the colt was born on Feb. 23.

Paul McCartan of Ballyphilip Stud said via phone, “I saw some of the sire's stock through the autumn at the yearling sales and liked them. I also like the fact that Advertise was a Group 1-winning juvenile and then went on to win the [G1] Commonwealth Cup. I viewed this colt yesterday and this morning–he has a fine pedigree and has four champion 2-year-olds on his page.”

The late Pivotal (GB)'s 4-year-old daughter Super Proud (GB) was the dearest mare to go through the ring at €35,000. BBA Ireland snapped up the Rockview Stables-consigned winning bay from the family of Australian Group 1 winner Beaten Up (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}).

Paul Curran was in charge of bidding and said, “She is for a client and we love her sire, that was a very important factor. There are some well-bred, unraced half-siblings to come and it is a nice page. She is an outcross so that gives lots of options.”

A chestnut daughter of Calyx (GB) (lot 20) was the most expensive yearling sold, catching the eye of father-daughter duo Con and Amy Marnane, who paid €30,000 for the half-sister to listed winner and G2 Queen Mary S. and G2 Lowther S. runner-up Easton Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}).

Marnane said of the Browne Brothers Bloodstock offering, “We'll take her home and prepare her for the breeze-ups next spring. She has a gorgeous pedigree with black-type under every dam on the page.

“Calyx was unbelievable the day he won at Royal Ascot and we supported him with our own mares. We sold a colt by him out of Mia Divina (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) to Andrew Balding at Book 2 for 145,000gns.”

A total of 100 lots (54%) sold from 184 offered for a gross of €599,400. The average was €5,994 and the median was €4,000. Valfredo Valiani spent €43,500 on six lots to lead all buyers.

CEO Simon Kerins said, “Once again, we are indebted to every vendor and each purchaser for their trust and support of the Sapphire Sale. European buyers, particularly from Italy and Poland, have made a contribution and the network of Tattersalls Ireland's International Agents played a significant part in today's sale. It was very apparent as we were inspecting yearlings in the Spring that there was genuine enthusiasm for our newest yearling sale and we are in a position now to work on it and move it forward for next year.

“So as the year closes, we can reflect on a year of so many achievements with the Goresbridge Breeze Up Sale smashing records, headed by a historic top lot of €520,000 and a record number of six-figure lots and a best-ever average of €38,155. The September Yearling Sale continued in the same fashion setting its own records with 70 lots selling for €50,000 or more as well as a record median and an average and turnover just below 2021's records. These results prove that when we are provided with the best horses we can deliver. Our hope is that these results and our improved facilities will continue to convince more consignors that they can and will achieve the very best results in the Tattersalls Ireland sales ring.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team for their hard work and dedication throughout the year and to ITM for their continued support. We can now look forward to following the careers of our new graduates and get back on the road searching for the class of 2023.”
