Resorting to their X handle, the Park Paddocks-based, the European leading bloodstock auctioneer Tattersalls posted the amazing news. They capped off, saying, “Lezoo and Prosperous Voyage looking (heart-eyed emoji) as the two Group 1 winners gear up for this evening’s Sceptre Session at the #TattsDecember Mares Sale.”

In the video, as two women hold the horses by their ropes, Lezoo and Prosperous Voyage posed with their magnificent selves. Across both the Sceptre Sessions, 33 Group and Listed winning race fillies will be put up. Moreover, the two stars will go for sale on behalf of co-owners Andrew Rosen and Marc Chan. Speaking of Lezoo, she’s the daughter of Zoustar, and her most remarkable win was in the Cheveley Park Stakes(G1).

Including two group level wins, Lezoo has secured a win in five out of nine starts. On the other hand, the legendary Prosperous Voyage had claimed a win in 2022 Falmouth Stakes (G1). Zoffany-born and bred by Camas Park Stud and Lynch Bages, Voyage has also earned the 2023 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (G3) title. Having said so, the chairman looks forward to the auction event with hopeful eyes.
