Three-time G1 placegetter joins the list of big names to be offered at Chairman’s.
Tutta La Vita can be added to the list of high-quality female stock that will be offered this year with the three-time Group 1 placegetter confirmed for this year's Chairman's Sale.
The daughter of The Autumn Sun, who is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Secret Agenda and traces back to the family of Joie Denise, will be offered via the supplementary catalogue at the Inglis sale that will be held in Sydney on May 9.
Part-owner Kevin Payne said parting with the Chris Waller-trained three-year-old on the eve of a two-start Brisbane campaign that could realise a maiden a Group 1 win was a tough decision, but one that made smart commercial sense.
"In a perfect world, I wouldn't be selling her," Payne said.
"I love her and I truly believe she is a Group 1 winner in the making, but when you race a lot of horses you need to trade some of the good ones sometimes to keep the business running the way you'd like and it's just a timing thing that she will be offered for public auction.
"She's perfectly sound, she has an enormous pedigree, which I think she will only make even stronger over the next year or two or three and whoever buys her will have the opportunity to run her in a Group 1 within a month of owning her if they choose because that's what Chris has her set for."
Tutta La Vita is being directed towards Brisbane with the $250,000 Group 2 The Roses (2100m) at Doomben on May 25 and the $700,000 Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) on June 8 the targets.
Tutta La Vita registered her third Group 1 placing when runner-up to star Kiwi filly Orchestral in the Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) two starts ago.
Two starts earlier she finished third in the Group 1 Surround Stakes and last preparation finished third in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m).
Others locked in for the Chairman's Sale via the supplementary catalogue include Group 1 Australian Oaks runner up So Dazzling, who joins the likes of She's Extreme, Startantes, Kimochi, Pennyweka and Spright as horses to be offered at the Chairman's Sale.
