Pearls Galore | Scoop Dyga

Haras de Saint Pair's homebred Group 1 winner Pearls Galore (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) has been given a wild-card entry to the Arqana Breeding Stock Sale. She will be offered carrying her first foal by Frankel (GB) as Lot 210 on Saturday, December 9.

Trained by Paddy Twomey, Pearls Galore bowed out at the top of her game last season after winning the G1 Matron S. at Leopardstown during Irish Champions Weekend. In total, she won seven of her 17 starts, including the G2 Lanwades Stud S. and two Group 3 contests. 

A granddaughter of the G1 Prix Vermeille winner Pearly Shells (GB) (Efisio {GB}), she is out of Pearl Banks (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), herself a Group 3 winner and dam of two other black-type winners. Pearls Galore was offered at last year's Tattersalls December Mares Sale and was a vendor buy-back at 2.1 million gns.
