TATTERSALLS OCTOBER YEARLING SALE: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, the world's leading yearling sale for turf Group 1 winners, will take place from Tuesday 7th October through to Friday 17th October at Park Paddocks in Newmarket.
The Tattersalls October Yearling Sale sources more turf Group/Grade 1 winners than any other sale in the world.
In 2025 so far 51 graduates of the October Yearling Sale have won Group/Graded races, including winners of 14 Group/Grade 1 races. This outweighs the total of 27 Group/Graded winners from Arqana yearling sales and 20 from Goffs yearling sales in Ireland. This also applies for Group/Grade 1 winners, where the total of 14 outweighs the combined total of five for the French and Irish sales houses.
