Group 1 winning two-year-old will be offered later this month at Park Paddocks
Last month's Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye (1000m) winner The Platinum Queen (Cotai Glory) has been added as a wildcard entry to the Tattersalls December Mares Sale and the Group 1 winning juvenile will sell as Lot 1924B on Tuesday November 29.
The Platinum Queen became the first two-year-old to win the Prix de l'Abbay since Sigy in 1978. Trained by Richard Fahey for Middleham Park Racing, who purchased her for 57,000gns at the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale from breeder Tally-Ho Stud earlier this year, the filly has won four of her eight career starts and placed in a further two including when second to Highfield Princess (Night Of Thunder) in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes (5f) at York in August.
Tom Palin of Middleham Park Racing said: "The Platinum Queen's breeze at the Rowley Mile back in April was unbelievably impressive and we were determined to buy her.
"She has been an absolute superstar for Middleham Park Racing ever since, taking us everywhere including Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, the Ebor meeting at York and ultimately to Group 1 glory in the Abbaye on Arc day at Longchamp, where she achieved something which has not been done in more than 40 years.
"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 three year old."
