Jason opens up the fascinating world of the racing industry and tells all sorts of interesting stories about Tattersalls - From Charles II keeping his horses at Tattersalls, right through to the importance of being the world's oldest race horse auctioneers. Show notes: Jason Singh has been with Tattersalls for 20 years. Originally from Australia, Jason moved to England and found himself glancing through the Racing Post when he spotted a job at Tattersalls. Having got the job, Jason moved up to Newmarket and began an exciting career in the hub of the global racing fraternity Jason talks about the history of Tattersall’s, which dates back to 1766, and takes us on a mini-tour around the old Tattersalls locations in London before it moved to Newmarket after the War. Tattersalls was the first business of its kind and remains the second largest auction house in the world. Jason tells us about the life of a thoroughbred racehorse, the importance of its lineage, and the work and expertise that goes into preparing a horse for racing. He also explains the variation in price and the industry behind racing. Tattersalls has seen some big winners pass through its sales ring over the years – Jason talks about a few of the ‘greats’ that he remembers himself – including Sir Percy, the Derby winner in 2006. Although the pandemic has affected the racing industry, they were lucky to have only been closed for a short while, as Jason explains race courses reopened in June, albeit without the spectators. Tattersalls have their mid-winter sale at the beginning of February and are prepared for any situation, including running the sale virtually and by phone – as the world will be watching and of course buying.
