Flat Stallions on Parade at Tattersalls

[Wandering Eyes]

Nine British Flat stallions will parade at Tattersalls on Thursday, January 30 ahead of the February Sale.

As reported in TDN last week, A'Ali (Ire), Bangkok (Ire), Bradsell (GB), Caturra (Ire), El Caballo (GB), Isaac Shelby (GB), Lope Y Fernandez (Ire), Stradivarius (Ire) and Ubettabelieveit (Ire) will be available for viewing at Park Paddocks. They will be joined by nine former stars of the track for the inaugural RoR Showcase, which includes Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Native River (Ire).

“The Retraining of Racehorses charity is a vitally important asset to the British racing and bloodstock industries and we hope that the new RoR Showcase at Tattersalls will celebrate both the talents and successes of former racehorses in their second careers, in addition to increasing awareness of the crucial role played by RoR in ensuring their welfare,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony.

“The Stallion Parade of young British-based sires has been a staple attraction at the Tattersalls February Sale for many years and the day will provide an opportunity to showcase many important aspects of the bloodstock industry to breeders and racing and equestrian enthusiasts alike.”

The event is also being backed by the British European Breeders' Fund, which will sponsor refreshments throughout the morning. 

British EBF Chairman Simon Sweeting, who is supporting the parade with his Overbury Stud-based Caturra, said, “The British EBF's £2 million annual contribution to racing's prize-money is funded, in the main, by British stallions. When Tattersalls approached us about their plans for the parade, it made perfect sense for us to support and be associated with it. It is a great opportunity for breeders to see new horses such as The National Stud's Bradsell and stallions from a bit further afield such as Ubettabelieveit, El Caballo and Bangkok.”
