THE breeze-up brigade returns to Newmarket next week for the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale, a sale not as well known for producing headline results and proverbial fireworks as the first two sales of the year.

There’s a chance that could work in the sale’s favour - perhaps middle and lower end buyers were deterred by the blockbuster results achieved by its counterparts 12 months ago, and would be more comfortable shopping around the 30,000gns mark - the median price of last year’s Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale.
