Just the Judge to Sell at Tatts December

Qatar Racing and the Sangster Family’s Just the Judge (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}), winner of the 2013 G1 Irish 1000 Guineas, will be offered at the Tattersalls December Sale, it was announced Tuesday. She will be the first British or Irish Guineas winning filly still in training to be offered for sale since Ravinella (Mr. Prospector) who was sold at the 1988 Tattersalls December Sale for 1.4 milion guineas. 

Winner of each of her three starts at two, including the G2 Rockfel S., Just the Judge went down by a half-length to Sky Lantern (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}) in the G1 English 1000 Guineas before validating 2-1 favoritism in the Irish equivalent three weeks later. She remains in strong form this season, having finished third in the G1 Pretty Polly S. June 29 before filling the same spot, one length behind Euro Charline (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) in the GI Beverly D. S. at Arlington Aug. 16. Just the Judge is scheduled to make her next start in the GI E. P. Taylor S. at Woodbine this coming Sunday. 

“Just the Judge is an outstanding race filly with a top-class pedigree and is still performing at the very highest level,” commented Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “She is a very enticing prospect both to race on and also as a breeding prospect to grace the very best broodmare bands in the world.” 

Added David Redvers, on behalf of part owners Qatar Racing, “Just the Judge will always have a special place in our hearts as the first Classic winner to carry the Qatar Racing colours. Her win in last year’s Irish 1000 Guineas was a wonderful day for us and our co-owners the Sangster family. We strongly believe that she will continue to perform at the highest level and of course she will always be a magnificent addition to any breeding operation.”
