“The Cheltenham May Sale brings to a close what has been a challenging season for the point-to-point sector on a high note,” Tattersalls Cheltenham Head of Sales Matthew Prior said. “The handlers have continued to show great resilience in adapting to a disrupted racing and sales calendar as a result of the pandemic and it has been hugely satisfying to see their efforts rewarded at our recent sales held here in Park Paddocks, Newmarket.

“The hallmark of the Spring sales season has been the sustained strength and depth at every level, as witnessed by the exceptional clearance rates of 93% or more at our last three sales. To have sold the two highest priced point-to-pointers at public auction this May underlines the confidence purchasers have in the Tattersalls Cheltenham sales regardless of the location. This year has been spectacular for Tattersalls Cheltenham graduates as highlighted by the nine winners at the recent Cheltenham Festival and we look forward to our sales returning to Cheltenham in the not too distant future.”
