Two exceptional Book 1 colts for Decorated Knight

23 August 2020

A pair of exceptional colts by Decorated Knight have been catalogued to Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale.

The first to sell is Lot 372, the colt out of the top-class two-year-old Princess Noor from Jamie Railton.

Purchased by Tony Nerses as a yearling, Princess Noor was trained by Roger Varian to win the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot, in which she made all the running, and run second in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes.

The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor, who is from the family of top sprinters Dream Ahead and Fairyland, is represented at Blue Diamond Stud by her two-year-old Sea The Stars daughter Princess Nadia in training with John Gosden.

The Decorated Knight – Princess Noor colt capped an excellent season at last year’s foal sales for his sire by selling for 190,000gns.

New England Stud will offer the colt out of our Group 3 winner Shaden as Lot 432.
