Strong Trade For Stores At Tattersalls Ireland

The second edition of the Tattersalls Ireland July Store Sale built upon last year's inaugural sale with increases across the board. Featuring an expanded catalogue, 190 lots sold from 270 offered (70%), up two ticks from 2021. The gross grew by 90% to €2,841,100, with additional increases in both average (€14,953, +43%) and median (€11,750, +47%).

Two lots shared topper honours, with Rathbarry Stud's lot 1A, the second lot through the ring, bringing €65,000 on the bid of Tom Malone and Paul Nicholls. A gelded son of Blue Bresil (Fr) and Grade 2 hurdle winner Jessber's Dream (Ire) (Milan {GB}) who also placed second at the Grade 1 level, the March-foaled 3-year-old is his dam's first foal.

Just a handful of lots from the final store, lot 293 equaled that amount on the bid of Nicky Richards. Consigned by Liss House, the son of Buck's Boum (Fr) and the Early March (GB) mare Implora (Fr) is a half-sister to the Grade 3-placed Desinvolte (Fr) (Early March {GB}).

Third on the buyers' sheets was lot 269. Knocked down to Hugo Merienne for €60,000, the son of Network (Ger) was part of the Wood Hall Stables draft. The dark bay is from the same family as G3 Prix Hypothese Hurdle scorer Dos Santos (Fr) (Smadoun {Fr}).

Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, “It is fantastic to host the July Store Sale on it's intended date for the first time. The sale has recorded significant gains on last year, sale turnover almost double of 2021's inaugural sale as well as huge rises in average and median. The results fully vindicate the decision to stage this sale in July and the phenomenal footfall seen at Tattersalls Ireland today demonstrates that both Irish and UK purchasers fully support the sale.

“We must thank our vendors for getting behind the idea of a mid-summer sale and allowing us to introduce it to the sales calendar in such a vibrant manner. They have supported the sale with some quality stock and their confidence in the sale and the venue has been rewarded.”

Part II of the July Store Sale commences tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

Sparkling Statistics As Goffs Land Rover Part I Draws To A Close

Demand for stores remained high during the second session of Part 1 of the Goffs Land Rover Sale on Wednesday. The overall clearance rate of the two-day stand reached 90%, while total turnover was €20,406,000 (+25%). The average and median were both up by double digits to €51,792 (+12%) and the median to €45,000 (+13%). Just focusing on Wednesday's session, the gross was €9,642,000 for 189 sold from 216 (87%) offered. The average was €51,016 and the median was €42,000.

Seventeen horses broke the six-figure barrier on Wednesday led by a Blue Bresil (Fr) filly (lot 445). Brown Island Stables offered the bay half-sister to the dual Grade 1-placed hurdler Gentlemansgame (GB) (Gentlewave {Ire}). KB Racing/Rod Moorhead and DJ Bloodstock paid €195,000 for the January foal.

A gelding by Saint des Saints (Fr) (lot 415) from Tally-Ho Stud caught the eye of Mags O'Toole at €170,000. Out of the listed-placed hurdler Fleur des Villes (Fr) (Villez), the February foal is a full-sister to two-time Grade 3 hurdle winner Saint Firmin (Fr) (Saint des Saints {Fr}) and a half to Listed Prix Prince d'Ecouen H. Hurdle scorer Floreign Flower (Fr) (Poliglote {GB}), who was also graded placed.

Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said, “The statistics make for happy reading with an impressive 90% clearance rate, a 12% rise in average, 13% median increase and a massive 41 horses realising €100,000 and over, and all from a sale that is only in its second year as a two-day event following the unprecedented demand for places from all the big farms. The latter stat perhaps most graphically illustrates the progress Land Rover has made as there was just one six-figure lot 10 years ago whilst this year's tally is the most recorded at any store sale.”
