Group 1 Winner Tiffany to be Offered in the Sceptre Sessions of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale

The top-class race mare TIFFANY, a winner of the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin on her latest start, will be offered at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, which takes place from Monday 30th November to Thursday 3rd December. The Elite Racing Club homebred filly will be consigned by Sir Mark Prescott’s Heath House Stables and will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the fifth edition of the widely acclaimed Sceptre Sessions, which showcases the finest fillies and mares in Europe.

By the PIVOTAL stallion FARHH out of the SADLER’S WELLS mare AFFINITY, TIFFANY scored a well-deserved breakthrough victory at the highest level at Hoppegarten in Berlin on her most recent start, having scored at Group/Listed level on four previous occasions. She has also been placed in a further four Group 1 races, including a third to superstar mare KALPANA in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. 

TIFFANY comes from a deep family cultivated over the last two decades by the Elite Racing Club. Her dam AFFINITY is a half-sister to the Champion filly SOVIET SONG who won five Group 1 races, as well as to BARALINKA, the granddam of MARSHA who lit up the Tattersalls sale ring in 2017 when selling for 6,000,000 guineas, the record price for any thoroughbred sold in Europe at public auction. SISTER ACT, who is another half-sister, is the dam of Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet winner RIBBONS, herself the dam of Group 1 Melbourne Cup second SOULCOMBE and granddam of Group 3 Prix de Cabourg winner TADEJ. 

Commenting on TIFFANY’s inclusion in the Sceptre Sessions, Elite Racing Club’s Dan Downie said:

“The Elite Racing Club enjoyed a remarkable night at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale back in 2017 when our Group 1 winning sprinter Marsha sold for a record-breaking 6,000,000 guineas and so it is only appropriate to bring her close relative Tiffany back to the same sale ring to be offered in the Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions. 

“Tiffany has been a wonderful flag-bearer for the Elite Racing Club and we have enjoyed many great days out on the racecourse, winning eight of her 18 starts, five of them at Group & Listed level both in Britain and abroad. 

“The Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale has quickly become the most important stage within Europe at which to showcase top-class fillies and mares and we are confident that she will appeal to both owners and breeders who are looking to acquire a Group 1 winning mare with a deep and active pedigree. 

“She will be a wonderful addition to any breeding operation and we are excited to offer her at Tattersalls.”

Tattersalls Managing Director Matthew Prior said:

“Tiffany is an exceptional racehorse, and we are privileged to offer her on behalf of the Elite Racing Club at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale.

“The Sceptre Sessions were established to highlight the very best fillies and mares at Europe’s leading breeding stock sale. With a race record and pedigree of Tiffany’s quality, she is set to be among the standout offerings at this year’s sale and is sure to appeal to leading racing and breeding operations from around the World.

“With Tiffany and See The Fire already confirmed for this year’s Sceptre Sessions, Europe’s premier breeding stock sale is already shaping up to be a particularly exciting edition, with further quality additions expected in the near future.”

The Tattersalls December Mares Sale takes place from 30th November to 3rd December, and entries are now open.
