Newmarket Sales!

Today sees the start of the Tattersalls Newmarket Horses In Training Sales.  You get most of the National Hunt trainers up there looking to buy new horses for the winter campaign, and countless numbers of them will be trudging around with their catalogues and form books under their arms.  There are normally some highly rated flat performers that go under the hammer, and I'm sure that a number of them will be hurdling this coming season.

Without a doubt, some of the best turned out horses at the sales will belong to Sir Mark Prescott -  they always have the same colour rugs, and the jockeys riding them will all be wearing the same colour caps.  If you are interested in purchasing a potential hurdler or chaser feel free to give us a call in the office on 01884 840715 to discuss your requirements - we have a proven track record of purchasing the right horse for the right money, and they don't have to cost a fortune (witness Istabraq's conqueror Pridwell, who we bought at these very sales) - we will be there everyday.

I bet the Colin Tizzard team wished the Cheltenham Festival was next week following the impressive hurdling debut of Cheltenham Festival bumper winner Cue Card at Aintree yesterday.  He looked mightily impressive, and while there are still nearly another five months to go before the Festival bookmakers rate him only around the 6/1 mark for Supreme Novices Hurdle glory...I think I will hold fire on that one for the time being.
