Tattersalls signs new sponsorship deal with Newmarket Racecourses

Newmarket Racecourses has secured a new three-year partnership with Tattersalls that will see Europe’s leading thoroughbred auction house expand its sponsorship portfolio at the Home of Horseracing.

Tattersalls will increase its presence at the prestigious Moët & Chandon July Festival, continuing support of the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes and adding the Group 2 Tattersalls July Stakes and the Group 2 Princess Of Wales’s Tattersalls Stakes.

The new deal will see Tattersalls continue its support of the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes (registered as the Somerville Tattersall Stakes), for two-year-old colts and geldings, and the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, both taking place at the Rowley Mile as part of the Gold Season.

Tattersalls, the world’s oldest bloodstock auctioneer, also hosts the Craven and Guineas breeze-ups at the Rowley Mile in April and May.

Amy Starkey, regional director of Jockey Club Racecourses, East Region, said: “Newmarket Racecourses and Tattersalls are not only neighbours but world leaders in their fields and so it is only right that we should enjoy a fruitful partnership for the benefit of the town of Newmarket as a whole.

“We are delighted that Tattersalls have elected not only to maintain their existing sponsorships at Newmarket Racecourses but to expand their portfolio and we look forward to watching some of the world’s best horses compete for the five prestigious Tattersalls-sponsored prizes during the next three years.”

Edmond Mahony, Chairman of Tattersalls, added: “The Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes is the flagship Tattersalls race sponsorship in Britain and we are delighted to extend our support of Newmarket Racecourses’ Moët & Chandon July Festival by adding two such prestigious Group 2 races to our extensive sponsorship portfolio.

“July Week in Newmarket is one of the highlights of the European racing and bloodstock sales calendar, combining the hugely international Tattersalls July Sale with three days of outstanding racing and our sponsorship of the Group 2 Tattersalls July Stakes and the Group 2 Princess Of Wales’s Tattersalls Stakes reinforces our commitment not only to Newmarket Racecourses, but also to supporting British racing in as many ways as we can.”
