Fresh from his Royal Ascot success, trainer Ed Bethell chats with Emmet Kennedy about his remarkable triumph with REGIONAL, a horse he purchased for just 3,500 guineas at the Tattersalls July Sale in 2021. Despite starting with just three races, REGIONAL has since become a Group 1 winning sprint sensation. Ed shares what stood out to him and the My Future Champion racing syndicate about the gelding by Territories at the sale, and when he knew his stable star was destined for Group 1 success. Ed also discusses the focus on speed over middle-distance horses, its long-term implications for the sport, and the need for strong leadership to guide racing in the right direction. Plus, he gives us a two-year-old to follow! Then, Jason Singh, Tattersalls Marketing Manager, provides an overview of the Tattersalls July Sale, sharing some success stories from past sales, current trends in the horse sales industry, and how international buyers and sellers influence the dynamics of the sale.
