Top Quality On Offer At Tatts

The quality of yearlings on offer at this year’s Tattersalls’ Book One has been a highlight in a rather tumultuous year.  With the average and median both down 13% there was a rare opportunity to pick up some incredibly special yearlings, that in other years might have been unattainable.
