Commenting on the catalogue, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said;

“The hallmarks of the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale are quality and diversity and these were amply demonstrated both on the racecourse and in the sales ring in 2024, with Guineas flagbearer and perennial leading stayer Trueshan winning his tenth Group/Listed race, 5,000 guineas purchase Anshoda becoming the sale’s latest Group winning two-year-old, and Group winner Village Voice selling for 1,300,000 guineas at the Sceptre Sessions of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale. This year’s UAE Oaks winner Queen Azteca is the latest of a remarkable forty two Group/Listed performers for the Guineas Breeze Up Sale since 2022, and this year’s catalogue features a strong selection of quality two-year-olds that should appeal to domestic and international buyers in all sectors of the market, alongside the second largest horses in training section in the sale’s history.”

Catalogues will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls overseas representatives from Thursday, 3rd April. The breeze for the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up will take place at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on Wednesday, 30th April starting at 9.00am and will be shown live on the Tattersalls website via Sale Day Live, and on the Tattersalls Facebook page and Youtube channel.
