Winning Getaway Gelding Tops The Tattersalls Cheltenham Sale

Old Tom Morris (Ire) (Getaway {Ger}) (lot 5), offered by Rob James Racing, was snapped up by Hamish Macauley Bloodstock for a sale-topping £150,000 at Saturday's Tattersalls Cheltenham January Sale.

A winner of his only point-to-point at Turtulla earlier this month, the 5-year-old gelding is out of the winning hurdler Caheronaun (Ire) (Milan {GB}), who was twice graded placed. He was earlier sold for €75,000 during the 2022 Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale.

Another six-figure lot was Admiral Stewart (Ire) (Soldier Of Fortune {Ire}) (lot 8), who went to agent Tom Malone and trainer Jamie Snowden for £130,000. Offered by Milestone Stables, the son of Ivy Queen (Ire) (Green Desert) is a half-brother to G3 Kilkenny H. Hurdle winner The Crafty Butcher (Ire) (Vinnie Roe {Ire}). A €78,000 store, he won at second asking at Tinahely on Jan. 7.

Rounding out the top three was lot 15, Melbourne Shamrock (Ire) (Hillstar {GB}), who hammered for £125,000 to Emmet Mullins from Ballycrystal Stables. Also a winner of a point-to-point–in his case at Ballycrystal–from two starts, the gelding is a half-brother to Barnaviddaun (Ire) (Scorpion {Ire}), who won the G2 Brown Lad H. Hurdle at Naas.

Overall, 16 lots sold of the 22 offered for a gross of £876,000. The average was £54,750 and the median was £67,500. Of the 16 sold, four made £100,000 or more.

Tattersalls Ireland November NH Sale Underway With Springhill Stud Dispersal

The Tattersalls Ireland November NH Sale got underway on Saturday with the 36-lot dispersal of Springhill Stud. The batch were offered by Breda Lennon, the widow of the late horseman Kieran Lennon.

David L'Estrange went to €75,000 for lot 35, a 2-year-old gelding by Getaway (Ger). Out of Morning Run (Ire) (King's Theatre {Ire}), he was previously purchased by Lennon for €28,000 at the November NH Sale in 2021.

“He looks a long-term project, he is a big horse!” L'Estrange said. “He looks all over a chaser and might make up into a point-to-pointer to sell on or I might keep him to race. He will go to Cleaboy Stud from here.”

Second on the buyers' sheet was a grey gelding by Capri (Ire) (lot 22). He attracted a bid of €62,000 from Cleaboy Stud. He is a half-brother to three NH stakes winners including Grade 2 winner The Dutchman (Ire) (King's Theatre {Ire}).

The third-highest price was lot 3, a yearling gelding by Crystal Ocean (GB), who was purchased by Ian Ferguson. He is a half-sister to G3 Cork Grand National winner Mattock Ranger (Ire) (Oscar {Ire}).

“Kieran was a good friend and he was very lucky for me, I bought Banbridge from him,” he said. “I like this yearling–he has been bought as a racing prospect for a client. He is coming home to me now and he will stay there until he is broken in.”

“Kieran always bought a nice foal and he could go out there blindfolded and buy a horse; he had so many nice ones through his hands.”

Overall, the dispersal brought €734,500 for an average of €20,986 and a median of €15,500. Only one of the 36 lots was reported as unsold.

The November National Hunt Sale continues on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and runs through Thursday, Nov. 16.
