Tattersalls could not have asked for a better flag-bearer for its Guineas Breeze-up Sale than G1 Ascot Gold Cup winner Trip To Paris (GB), the son of Champs Elysees (GB) bought for just 20,000gns who has gone on to win more than £750,000 in prize-money.
The catalogue for this year's sale, which takes place on Apr. 28 and 29, is now available online, with a breeze-up section of 170 horses augmented by 82 horses in training.
Helmet (Aus) has been fast from the blocks among this season's freshman sires, with two winners from his first two runners in Europe, and the Darley stallion is represented by three colts and three fillies in the sale, including Oak Tree Farm's half-brother to G1 Nunthorpe S. winner Margot Did (Ire)–a daughter of Helmet's sire Exceed And Excel (Aus)–who is catalogued as lot 206. Included in the list of horses in training on offer is the Marco Botti-trained five-time winner Crazy Chic (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), who struck at Kempton as recently as Apr. 2.
Commenting on the catalogue, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Twenty-thousand guineas G1 Ascot Gold Cup winner Trip To Paris has been a magnificent advertisement for the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-up and Horses-in-Training Sale and this year's catalogue has an abundance of quality 2-year-olds in training as well as high-class proven horses in training. The combination of breeze-up horses with older horses in training has proved to be a popular format and we are confident that we have a catalogue which will appeal to buyers from Britain, Ireland and further afield.”
Horses will breeze on Newmarket's Rowley Mile from 9am on Thursday, Apr. 28, with the action being broadcast live on Racing UK. The sale takes place at Park Paddocks throughout the following day and the catalogue can now be viewed at www.tattersalls.com.
