Sangster Stakes winner the latest Group 1 star added to National Sale
Group 1 winners continue to be added to the National Broodmare Sale catalogue with Ruthless Dame confirmed as the latest addition to the glittering catalogue.
Just a week out from next Tuesday's commencement of the sale, Magic Millions announced that the daughter of Tavistock had joined the race fillies and mares section of the catalogue.
Last year's winner of the Group 1 Sangster Stakes in Adelaide will go through as part of the supplementary section on Day 1, which is headlined by 10-time Group 1 Imperatriz, but also includes Chain Of Lightning, Madame Pommery, Affaire A Suivre and Platinum Jubilee.
The four-year-old, who remains in work with Ciaron Maher, holds Group 1 entries for the Kingsford Smith Cup and Stradbroke Handicap, will be offered as a racing and breeding proposition and managing part-owner Campbell Stott said the time was right to offer her.
"We are excited to offer our Group 1 winner Ruthless Dame, the only two-year-old Stakes winner by Tavistock, at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale," Stott said.
"Tavistock is making his mark as a Broodmare Sire with the likes of Mr Brightside, Mercurial, Straight Arron, and with such a beautiful international pedigree and racing upside we are confident Ruthless Dame will do the same.
"Ruthless Dame has competed against the very best in her career to date, racing in Group 1 company seven times from just 16 starts with an explosive Group 1win in the strongest edition of the Sangster ever assembled, and narrow photo finish second in the Group 1 Surround Stakes behind Sunshine in Paris."
"We have never shirked racing her against the very best, where she showed tenacity, turn of foot and courage that was deserving of the accolades she received."
Ruthless Dame's dam is the Stakes performer Ruthless Lady, a daughter of former crack juvenile Lady Dehere and half-sister to triple South African Group winner Oracy and fellow Stakes winners Lady Maroal and The Lady.
Lady Dehere a half-sister to Sea Siren, the triple Group 1-winning dam of the recently retired international superstar Warm Heart.
She is one of Coolmore's most valuable young broodmares and headed to stud after winning the Group 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes earlier this year.
The National Broodmare Sale catalogue now features almost 200 Stakes-performed fillies or mares to go under the hammer from May 28 to 30.
The sales action on the Gold Coast will commence on Sunday with Day 1 of the National Weanling Sale to commence at 11am EST.
