The July Sale has built a reputation as the place to find future blue-chip breeding stock at value prices. The dams of 13 Group 1 winners have been sourced at the July Sale since 2016, including the 65,000gns Seeking Solace, dam of Ten Sovereigns, the 32,000gns Queenofthefairies, who produced Fairyland, and Watchful, a 75,000gns daughter of Galileo who bred Watch Me.

Among the eyecatching breeding prospects on offer are Raasekha, a Listed-placed half-sister to Muhaarar in foal to Tamayuz, and the Group 3-winning Sense Of Joy, who is offered in foal to New Bay.

The form-horse section includes classy performers such as Craven Stakes runner-up Momkin, officially rated 106, and the Jim Bolger-trained pair of Geometrical and Agitare, who placed in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes and Golden Fleece Stakes respectively.

On the release of the July Sale catalogue, Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said: "The Tattersalls July Sale has been a remarkably consistent source of Group 1 producers and performers on the global stage and 2019 was an exceptional year with six individual Group 1 winners produced by graduates of the sale.

"Alongside fillies and mares from outstanding international families, the July Sale offers an abundance of progressive and proven horses in training that look set to appeal to a broad cross-section of buyers from throughout the world."
