The catalogue for the 2017 Tattersalls July Sale, slated for July 12-14, is now available online at www.tattersalls.com, with physical copies published Thursday. A total of 910 lots have been entered, with 747 horses and fillies in/out of training and 163 broodmares, 10 with foals at their sides. There are also consignments from quality owner/breeders Cheveley Park Stud, Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, numbering almost 200 lots combined.
The Tattersalls July Sale has produced the dams of 12 individual Group 1 winners since 2015, including 2016 G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero National Defense (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and MG1SW Lord Nelson (Pulpit), with their dams purchased for 80,000gns and 37,000gns, respectively.

“Last year's Tattersalls July Sale achieved record turnover which will be a hard act to follow, but we have catalogued more than 900 lots for this year's Tattersalls July Sale and as well as being the largest July Sale since 2008, it is a catalogue of real quality and diversity,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “The July Sale is a consistent source of Group 1 performers and producers and the uniquely popular July Sale formula of quality breeding stock combined with high class horses in training looks set to attract the usual mix of domestic and international buyers.”
