Commenting on the 2021 Tattersalls July Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said;
“The Tattersalls July Sale has an extraordinary record not only for producing high class horses in training, but also broodmares of the very highest quality. To date in 2021 mares purchased from the July Sale have produced Group 1 and 2 winners in America, Australia, Dubai and Japan bought for as little as 8,000 guineas and headed by the outstanding Group 1 Australian Oaks winner HUNGRY HEART whose dam HARLECH was a 60,000 guineas purchase from Godolphin in 2016. This year’s Tattersalls July catalogue features the usual compelling combination of well bred fillies and in foal mares as well as high class horses in training and significant consignments from Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, all of which look set to attract plenty of interest from domestic and international buyers alike."
