YOUNG National Hunt breeze-up horses, quality horses in training and many winning point-to-pointers are the main features of the Cheltenham November Sale, to be held after racing there on Friday, 13th November.

This is the first Cheltenham Sale to be conducted by Tattersalls Ireland, following agreement in July for the purchase of the bloodstock sales formerly conducted by Brightwells, the Leominster auctioneers who have been running the Ascot Sales since 2000. The first Tattersalls Ireland Ascot Sale was held on 3rd November. Several of the former Brightwells bloodstock staff are still involved, including Richard Botterill, based at a new address in Leominster.
