Tattersalls Ireland to Sponsor Norwegian 2,000 Guineas

Tattersalls Ireland has been announced as the new sponsor of the Norwegian 2,000 Guineas, which will take place on one of the most important days in Norwegian racing at Øvrevoll Galoppbane on Thursday, July 2.

This initiative builds on the long-standing support of Tattersalls, which has sponsored the 1,000 Guineas at the same meeting for many years. In 2026, the races will be titled the Tattersalls 1,000 Guineas and the Tattersalls Ireland 2,000 Guineas.

Simon Kerins, CEO of Tattersalls Ireland, said, “We are delighted to extend our support to the Norwegian Guineas meeting and to further develop our relationships with owners, trainers and breeders. We look forward to visiting Oslo in July and, before that, welcoming our Norwegian clients to the breeze-up sale at the end of May.”

Marianne Elk of Norsk Gallop added, “We have had a long-standing partnership with Tattersalls for more than 20 years. We are delighted to welcome Tattersalls Ireland on board for the first time this year. We look forward to making this a truly memorable day and hope it will inspire Norwegian clients to travel to auctions to buy new horses.”
