Outstanding filly BELIEVING claimed a well-deserved victory in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint to become the sale’s fifth individual Group 1 winner since 2022 and led an impressive array of Group winning graduates across the globe in Australia, Britain, France, Ireland and the UAE.

They will be joined by half-brothers to the Irish Derby winner TRADING LEATHER and the German 1000 Guineas winner UNFORGETABLE FILLY, by promising young sires ST MARK’S BASILICA and TOO DARN HOT respectively, and the COTAI GLORY full brother to Group 1 winning Tattersalls breeze up graduate THE PLATINUM QUEEN.

Commenting on the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up catalogue, Tattersalls Managing Director Matthew Prior said:

“Al Quoz Sprint winner Believing was the sale’s fifth individual Group 1 winner since 2022 and crowned another excellent year on the racecourse for the Craven Breeze Up Sale, Europe’s leading breeze up sale for Group 1 winners. The future looks equally assured, with UAE 2000 Guineas winner Six Speed heading a strong group of promising Classic contenders aiming to follow in the footsteps of Native Trail and Cachet, alongside Epsom Derby runner up Ambiente Friendly and last year’s Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas third Hotazhell. 

“The consistency of the sale’s success at the highest level is a clear testament to the continued support of Europe’s leading breeze up consignors. That support has once again resulted in a catalogue rich in both quality and diversity, making the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale, staged alongside racing at the Rowley Mile at the start of the Flat season at the Home of Racing, a compelling prospect for both domestic and overseas buyers.”  

The ‘breeze’ for the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale will take place at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on Monday 13^th April starting at 9.30am, with the sale taking place on Tuesday 14^th and Wednesday 15^th April after the conclusion of racing on the first two days of Newmarket’s three-day Craven Meeting.
