Tamfana, who won the G1 Sun Chariot Stakes a year ago this weekend, is to be offered during the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, which begins its four-day run on Monday, December 1. Prior to that, she is set to race in Sunday's G1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp.
Trained by David Menuisier for Quantum Leap Racing, the four-year-old daughter of former German champion sire Soldier Hollow broke her maiden at two, winning a Kempton maiden by nine and a half lengths before landing the G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly.
Tamfana came within a length of winning the 1,000 Guineas when rallying late to claim fourth place after being hampered in running. She was also fourth against the colts in a high-class renewal of the G1 Grand Prix de Paris over 12 furlongs before dropping back to a mile and beating a top-class Sun Chariot field, which included multiple Group 1 winner Inspiral and Classic winners Nashwa and Elmalka.
Tamfana is a daughter of the Zoffany mare Tres Magnifique, whose dam Ticana is a sister to the dual Listed winner and Group 2 runner-up Timos and a half-sister to G1 Beverley D Stakes winner Sea Calisi. Her two-year-old half-sister The Palace Girl sold for 1,550,000gns at the 2024 December Sale, and their dam is currently in foal to Frankel.
