Group 1 winner Pearls Galore (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) will be offered at the upcoming Tattersalls December Mares Sale from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1. Part of the boutique Sceptre Session on Nov. 29, the G1 Matron S. winner has five group and listed races to her credit for breeder Andreas Putsch's Haras de Saint Pair and trainer Paddy Twomey. A daughter of Group 3 winner Pearl Banks (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), Pearls Galore is a half-sister to G3 Grosser Preis der Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung winner Lucky Lycra (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) and listed heroine Pearly Steph (Fr) (Oasis Dream {GB}), herself the dam of dual group winner Eternal Pearl (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Haras De Saint Pair's homebred Pearls Galore is another top class Group 1-winning filly coming to this year's Tattersalls December Mares Sale and anyone who saw her recent emphatic victory in the G1 Matron Stakes could not fail to have been impressed.”
Putsch added of the granddaughter of G1 Prix Vermeille victress Pearly Shells (GB) (Efisio {GB}), “Pearls Galore has everything you could want in a broodmare prospect. A May foal, she has progressed throughout her career putting up an exceptional performance on her last start to beat three other Group 1 fillies by three lengths and more in the Matron S. She is sound and healthy after 17 career starts.
“She comes from a great family we have had at Saint Pair since her granddam Pearly Shells won the Prix Vermeille, but which also includes the Classic winners St Mark's Basilica (Fr), Magna Grecia (Ire), Sariska (GB) and Beauty Parlour (GB).”
