Classic Heroine Lady Ilze to be Offered in Tattersalls Online Pop-Up Sale

[Wandering Eyes]

This year's G2 German 1,000 Guineas winner Lady Ilze will be offered by Tattersalls Online in a pop-up sale scheduled to get underway at 3pm on Monday, August 4. Bidding will then close at 3pm the following day.

Formerly trained in Poland by Krzysztof Ziemianski, Lady Ilze won three of her five starts as a two-year-old, before being transferred to the care of leading German trainer Andreas Wöhler. Following a fourth-place finish in the G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen on debut for her new yard, she then produced a career-best effort at Dusseldorf to win the German 1,000 Guineas by a length from D'Ores Et Deja. Last seen finishing fourth in the G1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket, she will be offered with a Timeform rating of 107.

Raced by prominent German-based owners Westminster Race Horses, Lady Ilze is the first foal out of the five-time winner Roman Spinner (Intikhab) and hails from the family of the multiple Group 1 winners Diamond Shoal and Glint Of Gold, as well as Germany's champion older mare Catella.

Having previously offered lots from locations in Britain, Ireland, France, and America, the daughter of Territories will become the first lot in Germany to be offered on Tattersalls Online as the result of a collaboration with leading German auction house BBAG.

Katherine Sheridan, Tattersalls Online sales manager, said, “Tattersalls is delighted to be entrusted with the sale of German Classic winner Lady Ilze. Offering a filly of her quality on our online platform is a testament to the confidence placed in Tattersalls Online and its success. It is a privilege to present her to the market and she is sure to attract global interest.

“We are also excited to be collaborating with Klaus Eulenberger and the team at BBAG, with whom we have a strong relationship. The joint venture opens new opportunities for our online platform and will be a key focus of future growth in the sale of German-based horses.”
