The Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus will be boosted from £20,000 to £25,000, covering all yearlings catalogued for this year's sale.
The popular scheme, which was launched in 2015, has already paid out more than £7.5 million in bonus prize-money to owners racing eligible horses in Britain and Ireland. Of the 329 October Book 1 Bonus winners to date, more than a third of the horses have been purchased for 100,000gns or less.
“The Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus scheme has been a real success story from the very beginning and the increase from £20,000 back to the original £25,000 demonstrates the Tattersalls commitment to rewarding owners with unprecedented bonuses and the enduring appeal of a scheme which has already contributed more than £7.5 million directly to owners and into British and Irish prize-money,” said Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony.
“The catalogue for Book 1 of the 2023 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale will be out soon and every single one of the yearlings catalogued in Europe's premier yearling sale is eligible to earn a £25,000 bonus simply by winning one of more than 300 maiden and novice races in Britain and Ireland.”
Owners stand to receive a £25,000 bonus if their 2023 October Book 1 purchase wins a Class 2, 3 or 4 2-year-old maiden or novice race in Britain run between Mar. 23 and Nov. 8, 2024, or any 'open' 2-year-old maiden run in Ireland between Mar. 23 and Nov. 3, 2024. To qualify for the £25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus Scheme, a single payment of £2,000 is required. All yearlings sold, bought in or failing to meet their reserve will qualify.
This year's Tattersalls October Yearling Sale starts on Tuesday, Oct. 3, with Book 1 taking place during the first three days.
