Alongside the top-level National Hunt victories of Wodhooh and Golden Ace, purchased for 50,000 guineas and 12,000 guineas respectively, they illustrate the variety and quality on offer. Europe's premier midsummer sale has also been a wonderful source of fillies and mares who go on to produce top-class racehorses, with last year's Prix du Jockey Club winner Camille Pissarro the perfect illustration, with his dam Entreat having been purchased at the sale for a mere 14,000 guineas.“This year's edition of the sale once again features an enticing combination of well-bred fillies and in foal mares, high class horses in training and significant consignments from some of the industry's most prominent owner-breeders, which should attract the usual large cross-section of domestic and international buyers to Park Paddocks.”The post Space Blues Half-Sister One Of The Stars Of Tattersalls July Catalogue appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
