Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (G1) winner The Platinum Queen has been added as a wild-card entry to the Tattersalls December Mares Sale and will be offered as Lot 1924B Nov. 29. She is the first group 1-winning filly to be offered as a 2-year-old at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale this century.
The Platinum Queen is no stranger to rewriting the record books, becoming the first 2-year-old to win the Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp since the great Sigy in 1978 with a game effort for trainer Richard Fahey and owners Middleham Park Racing.
She has compiled a 4-2-0 record in eight starts, having also secured black type with a win in the Coral Flying Childers Stakes (G2) and a runner-up finish against older horses in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (G1). She was 11th most recently in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1T) at Keeneland Nov. 4
"The Platinum Queen really is a special filly, a credit to Richard Fahey and the whole team at Musley Bank, and she has the physical scope to develop into an equally outstanding 3-year-old," Tom Palin of Middleham Park Racing said in a release.
Bred by Tally-Ho Stud, The Platinum Queen is by Cotai Glory out of the Kodiac mare Thrilled .
The Tattersalls December Mares Sale will take place from Nov. 28 - Dec. 1, with the new Sceptre Sessions held Nov. 28-29.
