G1 Pretty Polly S. heroine La Petite Coco (Ire) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}) will be offered during the Tattersalls December Mares Sale from Nov. 28-Dec. 1. The Paddy Twomey trainee will go through the ring during the elite Sceptre Session on Nov. 29. Also, a winner of the G2 Blandford S. and G3 Give Thanks S., the 4-year-old races in the colours of Team Valor. Bred in Ireland by Bernd and Ute Schone, the filly is out of a half-sister to G1 German Derby winner Laveron (GB) (Konigsstuhl {Ger}). This is also the extended family of Group 1-winning sire Lomitas (GB) (Niniski).
“La Petite Coco will always be special to me and the team at Athassel House as our first Group 1 winner,” said Twomey, who will consign the 2022 G1 Yorkshire Oaks runner-up. “She is a good-looking filly with a wonderful temperament and a huge pedigree, and she tries her heart out every time she runs.”
Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony added, “The Team Valor-owned La Petite Coco is another wonderful Group 1 winning filly coming to this year's Tattersalls December Sale. Similar to Alcohol Free (Ire) and Saffron Beach (Ire), she combines outstanding ability with looks and pedigree and she will be another highlight of our new Sceptre Sessions which are already shaping up to be a bit special.”
