Tattersalls Walking Tour 2012

This new tour visits Tattersalls the oldest bloodstock auctioneers in the world and the largest in Europe. The tour guide will take you to the internationally important October Yearling Sales where you will be introduced to the exciting world of selling and buying young potential racehorses many of which go for six-figure sums.
You will receive a copy of the sales catalogue and the layout of the bloodlines for each lot and the importance of 'black type' will be explained. The whole process of yearling inspection by bloodstock agents and potential owners and the bidding action in the sales ring can then be witnessed. For many the buzz around the sales ring during these sales is one of the highlights of the thoroughbred year. A fascinating and enlightening afternoon is assured.
