Lance Bloodstock also plans on purchasing a select number of 2-year-olds in the upcoming breeze-up sales. The horses-in-training that are being offered have won many races. They have all passed a rigorous vetting process and all have recent racing form.

“Lance Bloodstock made the decision to sell with Tattersalls Online because it causes no disruption to the training routine of the horses and avoids the expense of sending staff to the sales for two days.”
