“The publication of the catalogue for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale is always a significant milestone in the bloodstock calendar, and this year’s edition presents buyers with a catalogue of exceptional quality and remarkable depth.

“The racecourse remains the ultimate measure of any sale’s success, and, so far in 2026, October Book 1 graduates have enjoyed another outstanding season. Derby and Classic winner Christmas Day has been joined at the highest level by Group 1 winners Estrange, Maltese Cross, Mission Central, Portfolio Duration and Venetian Sun, underlining once again the sale’s unrivalled ability to produce elite performers.

“Four of those Classic and Group 1 winners have siblings catalogued in this year’s Book 1, while buyers will also find an outstanding collection of beautifully bred fillies that will undoubtedly attract the attention of owners, breeders and leading stud farms from around the world.

“The catalogue also features the only yearlings eligible for the £25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus. Over the past 11 years, the scheme has rewarded 451 winners with bonus payments totalling £10,645,000, and, with over 500 qualifying races across Britain and Ireland and no limit on the number of individual winners each year, it remains Europe’s leading sales bonus scheme.

“Whether buyers are searching for future Classic or Group 1 winners, stallion prospects, future broodmares or the next Book 1 Bonus winner, this year’s Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale offers an extraordinary range of opportunities. We look forward to once again welcoming buyers from around the world to Park Paddocks for what promises to be another memorable renewal of Europe’s premier yearling sale.”
