Tattersalls October Book 1 Purchase Camille Pissarro Wins Prix du Jockey Club

Camille Pissarro was an impressive winner of the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly for trainer Aidan O’Brien and for owners Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Mrs John Magnier and Peter Brant, with his victory providing Classic success for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale where MV Magnier & Peter Brant’s White Birch Farm purchased him for 1,250,000 guineas in 2023. 

Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale is Europe’s premier yearling sale and recent Classic winners from the sale have included the Irish Oaks winning pair You Got To Me and Magical Lagoon as well as Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas winner Native Trail. 

Camille Pissarro’s victory provided a timely update for the Tattersalls July Sale where his breeders Clara Stud purchased his dam Entreat for 14,000 guineas in 2016. The daughter of Pivotal has proven a veritable goldmine for her owners, producing the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup winner Golden Horde and Listed winners Exhort and Line of Departure in addition to the Prix du Jockey Club winner. Entreat’s Dark Angel yearling filly realised 900,000 guineas at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale last year and whilst she has no yearling this year, she has a Justify colt foal.  

The Tattersalls July Sale catalogue will be published on Wednesday 4^th June whilst Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale will take place on 7^th – 9^th October.
