TATTERSALLS has created a new National Hunt sale which will be staged in Newmarket on Thursday, May 26th.

Taking place a week after the Goffs UK Spring Sale, the one-day Tattersalls May NH Sale will offer point-to-pointers and National Hunt horses in training as well as stores.

It is unusual for Park Paddocks to stage National Hunt sales but it did prove a successful venue for the relocated Tattersalls Cheltenham Sales in the past 18 months.

Those relocated sales saw a top price of £430,000 and 19 lots selling for £100,000 or more.

Tattersalls’ chairman Edmond Mahony said: “The Tattersalls May NH Sale will provide the perfect combination of date and location to showcase high quality British and Irish stores, point-to-pointers and National Hunt horses in training to a wide cross-section of buyers.

“Park Paddocks demonstrated the location’s ability to service the National Hunt sector with distinction when hosting the relocated Tattersalls Cheltenham Sales and the new Tattersalls May NH Sale will benefit not only from Park Paddocks’ outstanding facilities but also from Newmarket’s unique infrastructure.”

Entries for the store section of the new sale close on January 28th.
