Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale

NEWMARKET, UK--Ah, the yearling sales. It's a long old season and sometimes the more elderly members of the press desk can get a little jaded by the halfway point, not to mention discombobulated. After all, we're at a Tattersalls Ireland sale in Newmarket, where instead of selling in guineas or euros, the horses are changing hands in sterling. But every now and then a feelgood story comes along to soften even the stoniest of hearts. Let's face it, the day started pretty well: the sun shone and the free ice-cream...

NEWMARKET, UK--It's Fairyhouse, but not as we know it. For the second year running the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale has gone on tour to Newmarket, with just shy of 600 youngsters catalogued to sell over the next two days.  The claim of Tattersalls Ireland's CEO Simon Kerins that the September Sale has something for everyone is fully backed up by two notable graduates of the sale on the track this year. This time last year Go Bears Go (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) was plucked from Micheal Ryan's Al Eile...

The Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale will return to its originally scheduled dates of Sept. 21 and 22 following the announcement that the Goffs Orby Sale would be staged at Kildare Paddocks in Ireland rather than at Park Paddocks in Newmarket. Despite the Irish government's recent relaxation of quarantine requirements for most vaccinated visitors, the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale will remain in Newmarket rather than return to Fairyhouse. Simon Kerins, chief executive officer of Tattersalls Ireland, said, "We are pleased we are able to offer certainty surrounding our dates...

Fledgling consignor Clare Manning of Boherguy Stud stole all the headlines during the opening session of the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale on Monday when selling her grandfather Jim Bolger's Teofilo colt (lot 165) for a sale record price of £325,000, and it was more of the same on Tuesday when Manning sold Bolger's New Approach (Ire) colt out of the dual Group 3 winner Maoineach (Congaree) (lot 260) for a session-topping £190,000 to Robson Aguiar acting on behalf of Amo Racing and trainer Roger Varian. Like the Teofilo colt...

The symbiotic relationship between the Irish and British racing and bloodstock industries has never been so evident as it is on Monday as the Irish yearling sale season gets underway at Park Paddocks in Newmarket with the relocated Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale. As has been the case so far this year with other bloodstock sales and indeed other global industries, expectations have been tempered as travel restrictions and economic woes have understandably had and will continue to have a detrimental effect on the selling of future racehorses. Participants, however,...

There is a general feeling of relief this year that the yearling sales are taking place at all. While some of the key indices are down on previous years there is comfort to be found in the strong clearance rates experienced at the sales thus far and even more comfort to be taken by some of the results pinhookers have had from their investments of 2019. For siblings Chris and Tara Armstrong this year could be one of the more memorable ones for their young pinhooking operation from Beechvale Stud....

The sales that take place throughout a normal year are usually a good marker to set your calendar by. But in a year where nothing has been normal, the calendar has well and truly been flung from the window along with the familiarity of set venues. While most things have changed some have stayed the same, one of those being the friendly and warm chat you are guaranteed to have with Ciara Lyons of Collegelands Stud. Collegelands Stud was set up by Austin and Ciara Lyons in 1996 primarily to...

The Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale, which was moved to Newmarket this year due to COVID-19, has been shorted to two days, Tattersalls Ireland announced on Thursday. The sale will take place Sept. 21 and 22, with Part II directly following the conclusion after the September Yearling Sale. This scheduling change is in response to the relocation of the sale to Park Paddocks in Newmarket. The remaining 2020 Tattersalls Ireland sales will take place in Ireland, and any vendors not wishing to sell in Newmarket will have the opportunity to...

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...
