Tattersalls Ireland today announced the restructuring of the November Breeders’ Flat Sale to what will now be known as the November Yearling Sale. The sale will take place on the weekend of November 17th and 18th 2012 and has previously been the source of notable winners including Group 1 winners Paco Boy and Snow Fairy along with Stakes winners Bible Black, Bob Le Beau and Berg Bahn to name just a few.

Inspections for the upcoming Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale taking place on September 25th and 26th 2012 have commenced.

The €125,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes is again open for yearlings sold at the sale. This year’s race will take place at Fairyhouse on Monday 24th September; the eve of the Sale. Tattersalls Ireland has the added bonus of offering vendors the option of entering their horse in the new November Yearling Sale on November 17th & 18th 2012.
