“The Tattersalls December Foal Sale continues to excel, both as a source of top-class racehorses and great pinhooking opportunities. Europe’s premier foal sale continues to attract the cream of the British and Irish foal crop and the sale has enjoyed another stellar year on the racecourse, including Group 1 winners SIR DELIUS, ARIZONA BLAZE and DOCKLANDS alongside Coventry Stakes winner GSTAAD.
