Irish Guineas winner Just the Judge heads to the sales

The four-year-old daughter of Lawman is being offered at public auction to complete a partnership involving Qatar Racing Ltd and the Sangster Family. She was produced by the Rainbow Quest mare Faraday Light, who is a half-sister to the Oaks-placed, Group Three winner High Heeled.

Trained by Charlie Hills, Just The Judge was unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old when her victories included the Listed Washington Singer Stakes and the Gr.2 Rockfel Stakes. In May last year she finished runner-up to Sky Lantern in the Gr.1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas, but later that month landed the Gr.1 Ethihad Airways Irish 1000 Guineas.

She was subsequently third in the Gr.1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, while this season she has filled the same slot in the Gr.1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and the Gr.1 Beverly D Stakes at Arlington in the USA.

Just The Judge becomes the first Guineas winner to be offered at public auction since Ravinella appeared at Tattersalls' December Sale in 1988 - she made 1,400,000gns.
