The Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up and Horses in Training Sale has long been a source of proven talent, with former graduates such as Far Above, Trip To Paris and Trueshan plying their trade at Group level.
A sense of normality has also ensued after last year s sale was moved to July as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and confidence among vendors will have been boosted after the Craven Breeze-Up Sale registered a positive set of figures, while the Goffs UK variant produced the finest returns in the history of the sale.
The Breeze-Up Sale, which takes place at 11.30am following the horses in training section at 10am, has produced 30 individual Listed/Group winners since 2018 and includes lots by leading sires such as Camelot, Dark Angel, Kodiac, Sea The Moon, Siyouni and Oasis Dream, while the first-season sires feature Almanzor, Ardad, Cotai Glory and Profitable.
