Catalogue Starting Letters Revised For Tattersalls Group

After an announcement that starting letters would be harmonised across sales companies in 2026, a change in position by one of those sales companies has resulted in a revision to the Tattersalls Group's starting letters for this year.

All Tattersalls sales in Newmarket will are catalogued alphabetically, either by lot name or dam name and will remain on F, apart from the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale which will revert to its unique starting letter of K. Tattersalls Ireland will revert to starting letter P for Flat sales at Fairyhouse and letter F for all National Hunt sales. The starting letter for each sale will advance by five letters each year, with X, Y and Z being counted as one letter. The starting letters for the next three years are as follows:
