The catalogue for the Tattersalls September Sale has been released and is available online, the auction house announced via presser on Tuesday.
Set to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 10 after having previously gone late August, 240 lots have been assembled with 155 colts and geldings both in and out-of-training as well as 77 fillies and mares both in and out-of-training. Seven broodmares were also catalogued. Scheduled to go through the ring are consignments from some of England's leading trainers including lots offered on behalf of John & Thady Gosden and Roger Varian.
Highlights of the sale include Lot 71 God of Fire (Ire) (Muhraar {GB}), who comes into the auction riding a three-race win-streak and hails from the family of European champion 2-year-old colt, and joint champion 3-year-old St. Mark's Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). That multiple Group 1-winner's half-brother is twice Group 1-winning Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), whose shared Group-winning dam is a half-sister to the mare who produced multiple Listed winner, multiple Group-placed Dancing Tango (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). The 4-year-old brings a Timeform Rating of 97 from his last three efforts.

The sale will be held both in person and online, with buyers having an option to bid online via the Tattersalls Live Internet Bidding platform. Print catalogues will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives on Monday, Aug. 19.
“Since its inception in 2020, this fixture–previously held in late August–has quickly established itself as a consistent source of Group winners bought for as little as 10,000 guineas and this year's Tattersalls September Sale has been well supported by many of the leading British and Irish trainers,” said Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony.
“The hallmark of horses in training sales at Tattersalls is quality and diversity and the catalogue has all the ingredients to attract an abundance of domestic and international buyers to Park Paddocks for the 2024 Tattersalls September Sale.”
