"Porta Fortuna, a four-time Group 1 victor, is set for the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, deemed an exceptional horse and a valuable asset."

The upcoming Tattersalls December Mares Sale is set to feature a highly-anticipated event, with the offering of the four-year-old filly, Porta Fortuna. Trained by Donnacha O'Brien, this impressive racehorse is poised to attract significant interest from potential new owners.

Porta Fortuna, a filly owned by a partnership that includes Taylor Made through their Medallion Racing, has an impressive record with eight wins in 13 career starts. She has already proven her mettle by winning four Group 1 races: the Cheveley Park Stakes, Coronation Stakes, Falmouth Stakes, and Matron Stakes. Her only blemish in her career came when she finished as a runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas race.

Philip Shelton, racing manager for Medallion, has stated that Tattersalls was the perfect place to showcase Porta Fortuna. The Sceptre Sessions, held on December 1 and 2, will provide an ideal platform for this exceptional filly. In fact, Porta Fortuna's sale is expected to be the highlight of the Sceptre Sessions.

Taylor Made's sales agency will be consigning Porta Fortuna for sale, and a partnership consisting of Taylor Made's Medallion Racing, Steve Weston, Dean Reeves, and Barry Fowler are among the potential new owners.

Porta Fortuna's pedigree is equally impressive. She is a descendant of Kahyasi, the Derby hero, and Key Change, the Yorkshire Oaks winner. Her fourth dam is a sister to Kithanga, the dam of the St Leger winner Milan. Her dam, Too Precious, is a winning Holy Roman Emperor sister to triple Australian Group 2 winner Numerian.

Edmond Mahony, Tattersalls chairman, expressed his delight at Porta Fortuna's inclusion in the Sceptre Sessions. The filly's sale is one of the most anticipated events of the 2025 global bloodstock sales calendar, promising to draw a large crowd.

However, it seems that Porta Fortuna may not run again, as she is up for sale. Her last race was a victorious run in the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes at the Curragh earlier this year.

The sale of Porta Fortuna is under the terms of her ownership agreement, and this exciting event is sure to attract considerable attention from the racing community. The Tattersalls December Mares Sale, with Porta Fortuna as its star attraction, promises to be an unmissable event for horse racing enthusiasts.
