“The Tattersalls February Sale goes from strength to strength and this year’s catalogue has plenty of quality. The dam of last year’s Oaks winner FOREVER TOGETHER is a fine example of the outstanding quality to be found at the Tattersalls February Sale and there is no shortage of high class breeding stock in this year’s catalogue, as well as horses in training, two year olds and yearlings to appeal to the usual diverse mix of domestic and international buyers who have made the Tattersalls February Sale Europe’s premier midwinter fixture.”
