ODELIZ is set to be one of the stars of the Tattersalls December Sale when she is offered as Lot 2017 in the consignment of Jamie Railton. While the catalogue for the sale is just available, the pedigree page is already out of date as the daughter of Falco recently added another Group 1 win to her roll of honour.

Now a six-time winner of more than £420,000, she won the 10-furlong Premio Longines Lydia Tesio at Rome to add to previous stakes wins in the Group 1 Darley Prix Jean Romanet, the Group 3 Hamburger Meile and the Listed Prix de Liancourt.

She has improved with age but her 14 placings also included being runner-up in the E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine.

What a bargain buy she was when trainer Karl Burke acquired her for just €22,000 as a yearling at the Arqana October Yearling Sale in 2011.

Now racing for Swiss-based Barbara Keller, the mare has shown a remarkable improvement in form since she changed ownership early last year.

Odeliz is the best of the runners to date for her sire Falco, a Wertheimer-bred, classic-winning son of Pivotal. She is from his first crop and he is also the sire of the stakes-winning juveniles Snowday and Melodique, the Scandinavian classic-winner Falconet and others.

On the dam-side of the pedigree Odeliz is yet another Group 1 winner from an outstanding female line, one that has gained more prominence in recent years thanks to the exploits of the magnificent Treve. Indeed it is a family in which the females have been especially outstanding.

Best

Odeliz herself is the best of four winners to date – the first four foals - from the unraced Efisio mare Acatama. It would be reasonable to expect more to come as the mare has a Siyouni yearling filly that sold for €250,000 in August.

Acatama is a half-sister to three stakes winners and the best of these is her Sri Pekan half-sister Amorama. She, like Odeliz, is a dual winner at the highest level as she won both the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks and the John C Mabee Handicap.

Now at stud her star performer is the three-year-old Galileo colt Ampere, winner of the Group 2 Prix Hocquart this year and runner-up in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris from just four starts.

Acatama’s grandam Triple Couronne is a full-sister to the champion racemare Triptych and she won a host of Group 1 races, including the Champion Stakes twice, the Coronation Cup twice, the International at York, the Irish 2000 Guineas, Irish Champion Stakes, Prix Ganay and Prix Marcel Boussac. Trained by David O’Brien when she won her classic, she is the only filly to ever win the Irish 2000 Guineas.

An outstanding racemare, Triptych was unable to show her prowess as a broodmare, suffering a freak and fatal accident when in foal to Mr Prospector.

This is the family of Treve and her exploits are current and well documented. She won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 2013 and 2014 and also triumphed in the Prix de Diane and Prix Vermeille.
