Commenting on the catalogue for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said;
“Graduates of Book 1 of the October Yearling Sale have enjoyed another stellar year with the likes of this year’s dual Group 1 winner PALACE PIER and outstanding global stars NEWSPAPEROFRECORD and RUSSIAN CAMELOT flying the flag throughout the world. The international achievements of Book 1 purchases at the highest level have yet again demonstrated the uniquely global appeal of Europe’s premier yearling sale and this year’s catalogue is yet another in a long sequence of truly exceptional Book 1 catalogues. We have an extraordinary number of yearlings by the very best of an outstanding cast of European sires and, crucially for buyers at every level of Book 1, all 547 Book 1 yearlings can reward owners with the lucrative prize money offered through the £20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus scheme. While the prize money for the hugely popular Book 1 Bonus Scheme has been slightly reduced in these uncertain times, it still remains uniquely rewarding and a significant number of the fillies in October Book 1 will also be eligible for the recently introduced Great British Bonus scheme.”
Catalogues are online now at www.tattersalls.com and will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives from Friday 28th August.
