ed in at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 last year, Sala da Ballo is the third winner for Australian bred Encosta de Lago mare One Last Dance, who won the Group III MRC Blue Diamond Prelude and is a half-sister to the dam of this season’s Group II ATC Missile Stakes winner I Am Me.

Bred and raced by Fairway Thoroughbreds, One Last Dance started her stud career in Australia before being sent to the Northern Hemisphere, but is now back in Australia and was covered by Home Affairs last spring.
