Tattersalls, Europe’s leading bloodstock auctioneers, has appointed Ben Chan as the Tattersalls representative for South East Asia.

Chan’s role will be focused primarily on promoting Tattersalls sales in Hong Kong, but will also encompass both Macau and Singapore.  Chan, who recently moved to Newmarket from Hong Kong, is a well known and respected figure in Hong Kong racing having worked for the Hong Kong Jockey Club for nineteen years as a TV reporter and analyst on the raceday broadcasts televised live from both Sha Tin and Happy Valley Racecourses. In addition to his raceday role in Hong Kong, Chan also covered international race meetings in Dubai, Japan and Singapore on behalf of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and is currently a contributor to the Chinese language Hong Kong racing publication Hong Kong Daily News.  

Commenting on his appointment, Ben Chan said;  

"There have been so many top Hong Kong horses bought from Tattersalls over the years and I am enormously looking forward to promoting Tattersalls sales not only to owners and trainers in Hong Kong, but also to buyers in Macau and Singapore. Tattersalls is widely regarded as the European market - leader with a reputation for outstanding customer service and I am thrilled to be joining the Tattersalls team in this new role."  

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony added;  

"Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore have always been important markets for Tattersalls and Ben Chan is a great addition to our roster of overseas representatives. Well known and respected in the Hong Kong racing industry, Ben brings a wealth of experience to the role and his knowledge and extensive contacts in Hong Kong and the wider South East Asia region will be invaluable as we look to promote all Tattersalls sales to as wide an international audience as possible."
