Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “The Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up enjoyed an exceptional year on the racecourse in 2022, led by historic G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner The Platinum Queen, one of seven group and listed performers bought at last year's sale. Classic prospect Crypto Force, multiple Group 1-winning stayer Trueshan, US Grade I winner Shantisara and Scandinavian Champion Hard One To Please also illustrate the quality and diversity that buyers have come to expect from the sale. This year's catalogue features a strong selection of quality 2-year-olds that we are confident will appeal to domestic and international buyers in all sectors of the market, alongside the largest horses in training section in the sale's history.”

“It will be a huge relief for all concerned to have the Tattersalls Breeze Up Sales return to their traditional dates after this year’s COVID-related disruption,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “Obviously the possibility of further disruption in both Britain and Ireland still exists, but the recent news that we can expect limited crowds to be allowed back to racecourses in Britain in the very near future gives us all optimism as we look forward to next year.

“Between the three Tattersalls and Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sales we will be aiming to accommodate very similar numbers to the total catalogued in 2020, but without staging the Ascot fixture which this year took place alongside the Craven Breeze Up owing to the calendar changes. Rationalizing the number of Breeze Up sales should alleviate the demands placed upon all participants in this important but congested sector of the bloodstock market and we are confident that the 2021 Tattersalls portfolio of breeze-up sales will allow us to accommodate the requirements of consignors and buyers better than ever.”
