Tattersalls December Sales Commence

The Tattersalls December sale series kicks off Monday with the one-day Yearling Sale, the final yearling sale on the calendar in Europe and an event which therefore offers shoppers one last chance for the year to fill their orders. The catalogue includes 67 siblings to stakes winners, including siblings to Group 1 winners Madame Chiang (GB) (Archipenko) and Sans Frontieres (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

“The December Yearling Sale is a cracking little sale every year,” George noted. “It’s the final yearling sale of the European calendar every year and has a loyal following. It always attracts people who may not have filled all the orders they had at the other sales and it looks to be a catalogue of genuine quality. Nine of the top 10 British and Irish sires have yearlings catalogued this year, including the two stars Galileo and Dubawi.”

A key attraction for shoppers at the yearling sale will be the fact that the majority of the youngsters catalogued are eligible for a prize money scheme, including the £25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus; the Tattersalls October Auction Stakes; the Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes; French owners’ and breeders’ premiums; and the Plus 10 scheme.

“There is a lot buyers can latch onto at this sale, and well over half the catalogue has the added attraction of a significant incentive for the buyers,” George said.
