Big Race Entries Beckon Tamfana With The Atalanta Stakes Next

Group 3 winner Tamfana (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) is targeting the G3 Atalanta Stakes at Sandown at the end of the month, according to trainer David Menuisier.

Winless in four starts at three, the Quantum Leap Racing and Friends colourbearer was third in the G3 Prix Imprudence in Deauville in April, and ran a luckless fourth in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket a month later. Third again, this time in the G1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly in June, the daughter of Tres Magnifique (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}) was last seen running fourth in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp on July 13.

“Tamfana is likely to come back for [the] Atalanta Stakes at Sandown on the 31st of August,” said Menuisier. “After that she will either go for the [G1] Sun Chariot at Newmarket or the [G1] Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp the next day.”
