TBA Chief Executive Claire Sheppard said, “The TBA Flat Stallion Parade has always been an excellent opportunity for breeders to see the latest additions to the stallion ranks at the Tattersalls February Sale. This year it is great to see that in addition to the newly retired stallions, breeders will also have the chance to see Danon Ballade and Spill The Beans who are both new to the domestic market. The TBA team will also be on site during the stallion viewings in the left and right yards to answer any queries. We are, as ever, thankful to Tattersalls for their continued support of this event which showcases the latest British-based stallions entering the market place.”
