Equine Mix-Up: BHA Fines Trainer Over Purchase Mistake At Tattersalls

The British Horseracing Authority has fined Newmarket-based trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy £750 (US$1,020) over a mix-up in his sales purchase at Tattersalls, reports the Racing Post.

De Foy purchased a horse he believed to be Il Pescatore at Tattersalls in August of 2021, but when trying to enter him in a race at Chelmsford in September, it was discovered that the horse did not match Il Pescatore's passport. An investigation found that Il Pescatore and Alpine Sierra were inadvertently switched when sold by previous owners Moyglare Stud at Tattersalls.

The real Il Pascatore was transported to De Foy's facility, and Alpine Sierra was sent through the Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale in October.

“I should have checked the horse and I accepted the fine that was given to me by the BHA,” De Foy told the Racing Post. “Tatts was very straightforward and they paid for Alpine Sierra while he was stabled with me before the sale. The BHA has been very easy to deal with too.”

TBA’s Flat Stallion Parade Returns

The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Flat Stallion Parade will return after a two-year hiatus at Tattersalls in Newmarket on Feb. 3. Free to attend, the event will feature 12 stallions embarking on their first and second seasons at stud in Great Britain and will begin at 11 a.m. prior to the start of the Tattersalls February Sale.

Breeders, owners, trainers and spectators are invited to view the stallions and speak with stud representatives after the event in the Left and Right Yards and light refreshments will be served in the Left Yard. The TBA team will be available to answer any enquiries.

TBA Flat Committee Chairman Philip Newton said, “We are delighted to see the Flat Stallion Parade return this year giving breeders and bloodstock enthusiasts the chance to see the latest recruits to the stallion ranks in one convenient location at the Tattersalls February Sale. The TBA team look forward to catching up with members at the event and we welcome enquiries from anyone interested in getting involved in thoroughbred breeding and bloodstock.”
