The £250,000 Tattersalls Craven Royal Ascot/Group 1 Bonus for owners of 2-year-olds purchased at the 2023 Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale, has been renewed by the sales company.
This scheme runs in addition to the £15,000 Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Bonus scheme, which has already paid out £555,000 in bonuses. The £250,000 Tattersalls Craven Royal Ascot/Group 1 Bonus will offer a £125,000 bonus for the first Craven Breeze-Up winner of any of the six 2-year-old races at this year's Royal Meeting, with £100,000 being paid to the owner and £25,000 to the vendor of the horse. An additional £125,000 bonus, with the same £100,000/£25,000 split, will also be paid to the first Craven Breeze-Up winner of any of the 15 European Group 1 races open to 2-year-olds, including the all-age G1 Nunthorpe S. at York and the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp.

The 2023 edition of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale will be held from Apr. 17-19. Breezes will take place over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on Apr. 17, with the sale held at Park Paddocks the following two days.
Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “The £250,000 Tattersalls Craven Royal Ascot/Group 1 Bonus reinforces our commitment to rewarding owners with multiple bonuses. The introduction of the bonus in 2021 immediately captured the imagination of owners and trainers and we were delighted that European Champion 2-Year-Old Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) was able to collect the £125,000 Tattersalls Craven Group 1 Bonus for Godolphin before going on to win the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas last year.
“The bonuses further enhance the appeal of a sale which produces a consistent flow of top-class 2-year-olds, with last year's sale producing twice as many group/listed performers as any other 2022 European breeze up sale as well as two Classic winners in Native Trail and G1 1000 Guineas winner Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}).
“Running alongside the ever-popular £15,000 Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Bonus, the multiple bonuses reward numerous owners and as Native Trail demonstrated, the prospect of an owner winning multiple Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Bonuses is very real.”
