Sox is Super in Listed Platinum Stakes

There was listed success for
September Yearling Sale graduate Super Sox in the Platinum Stakes at Cork last
Friday.

The daughter of Showcasing was
tackling listed company for the first time, and impressed in the manner in
which she decisively beat a field of eight rivals. It was a second win this
season for the filly, who was adding to a maiden victory at the Tattersalls
Guineas Festival in May.

Super Sox is owned by Dowager
Countess of Harrington, and trained by Paddy Twomey and holds Group 3 entries
in the Ballyogan Stakes and Fairy Bridge Stakes.

She was purchased by Paddy Twomey
at the 2022 September Yearling Sale from Adrian Costello’s Clenagh Castle Stud
for €50,000. Her dam Minoria is a half-sister to
Minalisa who was a smart stakes filly trained by Rae Guest, and was a listed
winner at Naas in 2014. The third dam in the pedigree is Miss Anabaa, who won
the Ballyogan Stakes for which Super Sox is entered back in 2003.

The victory of Super Sox adds to the
impressive list of stakes winners from the 2022 September Yearling Sale, where
other horses consigned included the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes winner Sea The
Boss, Italian 2,000 Guineas winner Melfi and Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up A
Lilac Rolla.  

The September Yearling Sale will
take place on the 24^th and 25^th of September, with Part
II scheduled to take place on the 26^th September. 

The catalogue is available to
view on tattersalls.ie, from Tattersalls Ireland or from any Tattersalls
Ireland representative. 

All lots sold at the 2024
September Yearling Sale are eligible for the €250,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super
Auction Sales Stakes at the 2025 Irish Champions Festival.
