Balantina, winner of the 2025 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T), will be offered at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale later this year.
The Donnacha O'Brien-trained daughter of Ten Sovereigns finished third at the Royal Ascot meet in the Albany Stakes (G3), which was won by fellow December Mares Sale entry Venetian Sun. She went on to grade 1 victory last October at Del Mar, and was last seen running third in the Falmouth Stakes (G1) in July at Newmarket Racecourse.
Balantina, who hails from a deep Aga Khan family, will be offered by Taylor Made Sales Agency, which returns to Park Paddocks following the 4.5 million-guinea (US$6,243,319) sale of Porta Fortuna last year. Its exciting draft also includes the group 3-winning and group 1-placed Atsila and listed Marygate Stakes winner Secret Hideaway, a half sister to this year's Prix Morny (G1) runner-up Carry The Flag.
Taylor Made Sales' Mark Taylor said: "Balantina capped off an outstanding 2-year-old season with a dominant victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. She showed she was right there with Europe's best 3-year-old fillies when finishing third in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes, only behind Blue Bolt and Precise.
"She's an outstanding physical hailing from a deep Aga Khan pedigree and we think she is an exciting prospect for both breeders and racing stables, who may want to run her in 2027."
