Trainer David Wachman revealed there was "a good chance" the daughter of Danehill Dancer, owned by Michael Tabor, Sue Magnier and Derrick Smith, will race on in 2016.

Winner of the 1000 Guineas, Nassau Stakes and Matron Stakes, Legatissimo will bid to cap a tremendous year in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland later this month.

"The Breeders' Cup is the plan at the moment," said Wachman.

"We'll see how we get on, but there's always a chance she'll stay in training next year.

"The owners will make the decision, but there's a good chance. It's not set in stone, but you never know."

A Redoute's Choice half-sister to Legatissimo was one of the stars on the opening day of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in Newmarket, being knocked down to MV Magnier for 725,000 guineas.
