Dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) is to be offered at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale which takes place from November 28 to December 1.
Trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam to win the Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket last season, Saffron Beach doubled her Group 1 tally when landing the Prix Rothschild at Deauville this year and she will highlight the new Sceptre Session at Tattersalls on Tuesday, November 29.
Saffron Beach was bought from Ballylinch Stud at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale by Norris/Huntingdon and has won five Group races in 12 career starts for owners Lucy Sangster, James Wigan and Ollie Sangster.
She will be consigned at the sale by her trainer, who commented, “Saffron Beach is a very special filly. Gorgeous and supremely talented, she is also unbelievably brave and consistent. Fillies like her do not come around very often.”
Saffron Beach is the second foal out of the winning Raven's Pass mare Falling Petals (Ire), who is also the dam of winning 3-year-old Eshkaal and has a yearling brother and foal sister to Chappe-Hyam's dual Group 1 winner on the ground.
Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “The wide margins of both her Group 1 wins are testament to Saffron Beach's exceptional ability, and she has been an outstanding race filly for Jane Chapple-Hyam and her owners.
“It is an honour and a pleasure to be asked to offer a filly of her calibre at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale and there is absolutely no doubt that she will be one of the highlights of the new Sceptre Sessions.”
