TATTERSALLS had to cancel this week’s mixed sale at Ascot and the firm has announced a number of other significant date changes to the forthcoming schedule.

  • The Tattersalls Ascot Breeze-Up Sale, scheduled to take place Tuesday, March 31st and Wednesday, April 1st, and the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up (April 13th-15th) have both been postponed and will be amalgamated into a new combined fixture in Newmarket taking place between Wednesday, April 29th and Friday, May 1st.
    • The Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up and Horses in Training Sale will be postponed until Wednesday-Friday, May 27th-29th.

      • All of the above changes will be kept under constant review.

      Tattersalls chair Edmond Mahony said: “We are making these changes in response to the unprecedented circumstances arising from the new Government guidelines and the subsequent BHA decision to suspend British racing until the end of April.

      “These decisions have not been taken lightly and we are mindful at all times of our joint responsibility to the requirements of our clients and the wider public health issues which have overtaken normal daily life throughout the world.

      “Full details of the revised formats associated with the amended sales schedule will be released as soon as is practical, bearing in mind the speed at which events are constantly changing.

      “In the meantime we would like to reiterate our commitment to minimising the impact of this national emergency which has engulfed us all and to stress that we will at all times endeavour to keep our clients informed of any further necessary changes affecting the wider Tattersalls group.”
