"Book 1 did not just best its previous highs, it completely obliterated them."
Stroud reflected on a record busting edition of Book 1
"To me it’s been a very, very good sale. The horses have really been exceptional. It’s been very competitive, with a lot of visitors from AMERICA , COOLMORE participating, GODOLPHIN participating, it’s nice to see SHADWELL , that’s fantastic, the JAPANESE have bought and overall prices have been strong and breeders are getting paid.”
Sheikh Mohammed and team Godolphin“It’s fantastic that Sheikh Mohammed is here. He’s been here for many years and it’s his judgement, he’s lived with horses all his life and he knows them better than all of us.”
Anthony Stroud
"Those present at Park Paddocks bore witness to the highest-grossing day of horse trade that has ever taken place in Europe.
An eye-watering sum of 49,545,000gns was spent on 144 yearlings throughout the eight-hour session, including the most expensive yearling in the world this year, a colt by Frankel (GB) sold for 2.8 million gns."
“This is one of Watership Down’s best families so he was the jewel in the crown. The price was more than I anticipated but Watership Down do a great job and David Ingordo and Bill Farish are strong opposition."
Anthony Stroud
"AMAZING, unbelievable, extraordinary and breathtaking. These are just a few of the words one could use to describe three days of selling at Newmarket"
"SHEIKHA HISSA was among those in attendance at Tattersalls and was spotted inspecting yearlings during Monday's day of showing, and met with Sheikh Mohammed prior to the start of the sale yesterday morning."
ANGUS GOLD added: “It’s her first time coming around looking at horses. People have been very kind around the salesground and given her a big welcome."

"We come to October Book 1 every year because of the Book 1 Bonuses. We keep winning them and we keep coming back!"
"A new week but a familiar story as day one of Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling sale saw a slew of punchy prices spent at Park Paddocks.”
“Dreams do come true and this was a breeder's dream!” said an emotional Marner, who was toasting her best ever sale with her sole yearling on offer this year. "It's beyond all our expectations and it's so wonderful for the team.”
