Tattersalls to Sponsor Middle Park Stakes, Cheveley Park Stakes and Royal Lodge Stakes on Cambridgeshire Day in 2025

Tattersalls, Europe’s leading bloodstock auctioneers, and Newmarket Racecourses are delighted to announce that Tattersalls will extend its sponsorship at the ‘Home of Horseracing’ in 2025 by supporting three of Britain’s best juvenile contests on Cambridgeshire Day on the Rowley Mile next month on Saturday 27th September.

Among the trio of two-year-old races sponsored by Tattersalls on Cambridgeshire Day are the £275,000 Middle Park Stakes for colts and the £275,000 Cheveley Park Stakes for fillies. Both races carry Group 1 status and take place over six furlongs. Tattersalls also extends its backing to the £125,000 Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes, a mile contest for colts and geldings. Winners of all three contests regularly go on to contest the Classics the following year. Most recently, 2024 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Lake Victoria went on to capture this season’s Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh.

With the Somerville and October Yearling Sales at Tattersalls fast approaching, the agreement announced today perfectly complements Tattersalls’ existing sponsorship commitments at Newmarket Racecourses which includes the Group One Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at the July Festival and the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes on Sun Chariot Day on Saturday 4th October.

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“Tattersalls have long been proud supporters of British racing and Newmarket Racecourses, and we are delighted to sponsor the 2025 editions of the time-honoured Middle Park, Cheveley Park, and Royal Lodge Stakes.

“These races complement our existing Newmarket sponsorships, which include the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes, the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes, and the Somerville Auction Stakes and October Auction Stakes – both of which will be run for a minimum of £200,000 from 2026. The Cambridgeshire Meeting is one of the highlights of the British racing calendar, and we look forward to an outstanding programme of two-year-old races of the highest calibre and to working with Newmarket racecourse in their promotion.”

Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, The Jockey Club, said;

“There is always a tremendous energy about Newmarket in the autumn, with the combination of the world’s best bloodstock being sold in the ring at Tattersalls and racing of the highest-class taking place on the Rowley Mile.

“We are therefore delighted to welcome Tattersalls as the sponsor of our three principal juvenile contests at the Cambridgeshire Meeting in 2025.”
