Tattersalls at Newmarket is a specialist marketplace for Thoroughbred horses. Within this agricultural directory it represents the horse-breeding sector, whose valuation methods differ from those used for slaughter livestock. Separate catalogues cover yearlings, foals, broodmares and horses in training. Breeders need to choose an appropriate sale category, while buyers should compare pedigree, age and intended use before treating two horses as comparable purchases. The profile concerns Newmarket sales rather than every business carrying the Tattersalls name.

The closing report dated 9 October 2025 states turnover of 128,640,000 guineas for October Yearling Sale Book 1 and records 16 horses selling for at least one million guineas. These figures concern the selected yearling sale held on 7–9 October, not the company's full-year business. They retain the reporting basis of that closing announcement: later statistical tables may incorporate corrections or transactions added after the sessions. Maintaining the version and scope is essential when comparing sale totals.

Users should distinguish a completed sale from a withdrawal or an unsold lot and check the currency convention for the selected event. A guinea represents GBP 1.05, but the bidding amount should not be equated with the entire acquisition cost. Charges identified in the relevant sale conditions, professional services and onward transport can affect the final budget. Preserve the lot number and sale name alongside any price used for comparison.

Buyers should arrange inspection and veterinary assessment, verify identity and pedigree information, and establish who will act on their behalf. Define the purpose before studying results: a horse entering training, a broodmare and a yearling call for different selection criteria. A bid limit should also be considered alongside the cost of future upkeep. The price achieved by a relative is contextual information rather than a substitute for examining the actual animal. An independent adviser can help frame the questions that matter for the intended breeding or sporting programme.

Sellers should check entry deadlines, catalogue requirements, presentation arrangements and documentation responsibilities. Before concluding a purchase, clarify payment, transfer of responsibility and release to the carrier. International movement needs advance coordination of the route and accompanying documents with the transport provider. Elite yearling results should not be used to value all farm horses. The market's usefulness comes from its specialisation and the ability to match a carefully defined breeding objective with a particular catalogue. Recording the condition, pedigree basis and services included makes subsequent comparisons more meaningful than saving a headline price alone.
