SPINK and BUDDS are proud to announce an exciting new partnership that will bring together two of the most respected names in the auction world for a landmark Sporting Memorabilia Auction in November 2026. This episode offers a glimpse of what is to come from this collaboration.
From the breeding of a racehorse to the roar of the grandstand, few sports have gained quite so much history, ritual and tradition as horse racing.
In our latest episode, Graham Budd, founder of Budds Auctions joins Tim Robson to trace the story of racing from its earliest foundations through to the great races, royal patronage, breeding, jockeys and the remarkable anatomy of the thoroughbred itself.
How has racing then entered the collector's world? From stamps and paper ephemera to memorabilia and the objects that preserve the stories of the sport. What makes these pieces so compelling? How does the history of racing continue to fascinate us?
The November 2026 auction is expected to feature iconic items from across the sporting spectrum, including trophies, medals, match-worn memorabilia, and unique pieces associated with some of the greatest names and moments in sporting history.
