year's catalog is outstanding," Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said. "It is

a larger December Yearling catalog than usual with the sort of diversity to

attract buyers at all levels of the market. The top sires are particularly well

represented, the vast majority of the yearlings are eligible for the Racing Post

Yearling Bonus Scheme and there are 31 yearlings eligible for the £1,750,000

Tattersalls Millions."
