Commenting on the July catalogue, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “With nearly 1000 lots catalogued there will be no shortage of choice and value for money for buyers at the July Sale and the diversity will appeal to purchasers looking for top class breeding stock or horses and fillies in training either to go hurdling or to continue on the flat. Recent American Grade 2 winner REBELLION, a 30,000 guineas July purchase, and 100,000 guineas 2007 purchase MONZANTE, beaten a neck in a Californian Grade 1 at the weekend, are both fine advertisements for the sale and we are looking forward to welcoming buyers from throughout the world and to another successful sale.”
