Chairman's Statement

At the conclusion of the 2022 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“This has been the most extraordinary Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. Book 1 set the ball rolling and it has rolled all the way through to the very end with more yearlings sold than ever before for the astounding sum of 199 million guineas.

“It has been a phenomenal show of strength from start to finish with buyers from throughout the world drawn to Tattersalls and the unique environment of Newmarket by the promise of outstanding yearlings presented by so many of the top breeders and consignors not only from Britain and Ireland, but from throughout Europe. The consistent support of the consignors for the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale is the key to its abiding reputation as Europe’s premier yearling sale and to see so many people so richly rewarded over the past two weeks has been wonderful.

“There is a huge amount of hard work and dedication involved in the journey from foaling to the October Yearling Sales at Tattersalls Park Paddocks and the results of the past two weeks are a tribute to all those involved at every level. The buyers come to Tattersalls in October confident that they will find quality yearlings to suit every budget which will go on to achieve great things on racecourses around the world and never before has this been so evident. The demand we have witnessed throughout the past two weeks has been truly global and above all it reflects the enduring appeal of the sport of horse racing which captivates so many people throughout the world and brings so many buyers to Newmarket and the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale year after year."

The next sale at Tattersalls is the Autumn Horses in Training Sale which takes place Monday 24th – Thursday 27th October. Catalogues are out now and available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives and online at www.tattersalls.com.
