The interest of Tattersalls Ireland's staff, clients and the industry are of the utmost importance at this time. Following consultation with Goffs, the rescheduled sales dates are as follows;

  • November National Hunt Sale at Fairyhouse – Saturday, Dec. 12 to Monday, Dec. 14
  • November Flat Foal and Breeding Stock Sale incl. a Yearling Section at Fairyhouse – Wednesday, Dec. 16

Commenting on the revised sales dates, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Matt Mitchell;

“In these uncertain times we must plan as best as we can for further sales and ensure we provide the most vibrant marketplace possible for our clients. We trust that the increased Level 5 restrictions for the next six weeks will meet the government's objective and allow us to host our remaining Sales in December.”

Record Returns Continue During Tattersalls Ireland Yearling Sale’s Closing Session

Day two of the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale was in some ways a repetition of Day 1 – the session topped again by a colt consigned from Clare Manning's Boherguy Stud, bred by her grandfather Jim Bolger (Lot 260).

The April-born New Approach colt, a full-brother to the Bolger-bred and trained New Treasure, winner of the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes, was bought by Robson Aguiar. He signed for Ebonos at £190,000 (US$242,016), purchasing on behalf of Amo Racing and trainer Roger Varian.

There was plenty of interest around the ring and underbidders included Dwayne Woods and Matt Coleman.

Consignor Clare Manning said of her two session-topping colts: “I knew the two of them were lovely individuals. Although they're quite different types, they're both extremely nice individuals in their own ways, and the updates were obviously big boosts. I thought they'd be popular but they've both completely exceeded expectations. They've both really pulled it out of the bag.

“It couldn't have gone any better really. To get one touch like that is unbelievable, never mind two.”

The other six-figure sale in the day two session was £155,000 (US$197,426) given for Lot 421, a Grove Stud-consigned colt by Night Of Thunder, also a son of New Approach.

He was one of 15 lots bought over the two days by the father and son team of Peter and Ross Doyle Bloodstock, the sale's leading buyer numerically and by spend. Trainer Stuart Williams was underbidder.

The two-day September Yearling Sale Part I produced a strong and a more-than-satisfactory set of results with its average of €24,145 (US$28,274) on a par with 2019, and its median of  €17,582 (US$20,589) a fall of 12 percent. Four yearlings sold for £150,000 (US$191,070) or more, another record for the September Yearling Sale.

The aggregate dropped by 15 percent to €7,992,107 (US$9,359,123), but the clearance rate was a very healthy 84 percent throughout the two-day sale.

At the conclusion of the September Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Matt Mitchell commented;

“The venue for the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale was new, but the fundamentals of the sale remained the same. We had a catalog of quality yearlings catering for all sectors of the market and the clearance rate of 84 percent demonstrates the enduring appeal of the sale, even in these challenging times.

“The obvious highlight was the new record top price of £325,000 (US$413,978) for Jim Bolger's outstanding Teofilo colt consigned by his granddaughter Clare Manning and we are delighted that his support of the September Yearling Sale has been so richly rewarded. The feature of the sale has, however, been the depth to the trade from start to finish. We have had a record number of lots sell for £150,000 (US$191,070) or more and buyers from throughout Britain and Ireland have been competing with a strong overseas contingent, most notably from Italy.

“Relocating the sale was not an easy decision and we would like to thank the vendors and purchasers, all of whom have contributed to the success of the past two days. The sale has displayed a remarkable resilience under the circumstances and is a tribute to the professionalism and commitment of all concerned.”

Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale Revises Schedule, Location

Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale is now set to take place over two days at Park Paddocks, Newmarket on Monday, Sept. 21 and Tuesday, Sept. 22, with Part II taking place directly after the September Yearling Sale on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

The revised schedule is in response to the relocation of the sale to Park Paddocks, Newmarket. The remaining Tattersalls Ireland sales program for 2020 will stay in Ireland and any yearling vendor not wishing to sell in Newmarket will be accommodated in the new yearling section at the Tattersalls Ireland Flat Foal and Breeding Stock Sale on 13 November, entries for which are now being taken.

The sale will commence on Monday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m.

Amongst a host of high class yearlings, the 2020 catalog features the half-sister to Dandalla, the half-sister to Minzaal and the half-brother to yesterday's Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes winner Champers Elysees. All yearlings cataloged and offered at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale are eligible for the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes.

Commenting on the revised schedule for the September Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Matt Mitchell said;

“Following the decision to move the September Yearling Sale to Tattersalls Park Paddocks in Newmarket and as a result of the feedback from vendors, the two-day format for the September Yearling Sale and Part II can now be confirmed. By having the sale over two days, we believe we will be able to provide the best marketplace possible. The introduction of a new yearling section in to the November Flat Foal & Breeding Stock Sale has given vendors a viable alternative in respect of where they wish to sell their yearlings.”

Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale Moves To Newmarket

In light of Ireland’s widespread 14-day quarantine requirement for visitors, Tattersalls Ireland will stage its September Yearling Sale on Sept. 21 to 23 at Park Paddocks in Newmarket rather than its Fairyhouse headquarters.

“The decision to relocate the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale to the Tattersalls headquarters in Newmarket has not been an easy one, but the sale traditionally attracts large numbers of overseas visitors and at present Britain, while also being the source of many of our buyers, is significantly more accessible than Ireland,” said Tattersalls Ireland Chief Executive Officer Matt Mitchell. “The primary objective at Tattersalls Ireland since the outbreak of the global pandemic has been to deliver sales which combine the minimum of disruption with the optimal conditions for both vendors and purchasers alike. We are confident that, bearing in mind the prevailing COVID-19 related restrictions in Ireland, this difficult decision allows us to fulfil this objective and to provide as vibrant a market as we possibly can.”
