Tattersalls Ireland
Charley Rossi representative Tiger Tanaka (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}) remained unbeaten after collecting a trio of claiming success in the French provinces, joining the trainer after the first of those wins, and remained down South for a July 8 conditions win going one mile at Marseille-Borely before losing her unbeaten tag when a close-up third dropped to six furlongs for a strong renewal of Chantilly's July 19 G2 Prix Robert Papin last time. Prominent throughout Sunday's G3 Prix Francois Boutin over Deauville's straight seven-furlong strip, she enhanced her credentials with a...
Saturday's G2 Railway S. had shown that quality juveniles can come from anywhere and 24 hours later the point was hammered home by the Bellewstown maiden winner Aloha Star (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in The Curragh's G2 Airlie Stud S. Content to wait in behind as the 10-11 favourite Frenetic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and the G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies' Sprint S. winner Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) squared up in front, Chris Hayes who had also partnered the shock Railway winner Laws of Indices (Ire) (Power {GB}) was in...

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, Goffs and Tattersalls have revised the store sales dates to allow sufficient time for vendors to quarantine between the Goffs UK Summer Sale and the Irish Store sales at Goffs and Tattersalls Ireland in compliance with Irish Government quarantine requirements. A two week gap between sales in the UK and Ireland has been agreed to give adequate time for Irish vendors to return from England and quarantine before they head to Kildare for the Goffs Land Rover Sale and then to the Tattersalls Ireland Derby...
The Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale has been moved to Newmarket as a result of continued quarantine restrictions for people traveling to Ireland. The sale will remain on its original date of July 24 at Park Paddocks, with the breeze taking place down the road at Newmarket Racecourse on July 22. Tattersalls Ireland Chief Executive Matt Mitchell said, "The team at Tattersalls Ireland are doing everything possible to stage a successful breeze-up sale and by holding our Goresbridge sale in Newmarket it allows all purchasers to attend the sale at...
Imperious when taking the G3 Albany S. by storm, Dandalla (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) made her syndicate members sweat in Friday's G2 Duchess of Cambridge S. at a rain-afflicted Newmarket but ultimately prevailed to complete the notable double. Reluctant to load and a touch tardy from the gates, the even-money favourite raced up the centre of the track in fourth early before being asked to close by Ben Curtis approaching the two-furlong marker. Working hard to gain the lead a furlong from home, she was unable to put the contest...
Looking in need of further than a mile when finishing strongly to be third in the June 21 G2 German 1000 Guineas, the Kingsley Park syndicate's Rose of Kildare (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) bounced out of a subsequent third in Epsom's G3 Princess Elizabeth S. five days previously to stamp her class on Thursday's G3 Tattersalls Musidora S. at York. Not suited by a tactical affair on Derby day, last year's G3 Firth of Clyde S. and G3 Oh So Sharp S. winner was sent straight to the front this...

On a banner weekend for his sire Kodiac (GB) (Danehill), Coulsty (Ire) made a mark of his own on Sunday when Eve Johnson Houghton trainee Enduring (GB) justified market support to garner the six-furlong Unibet Thanks The Frontline Workers Maiden Auction S. at Kempton and become the first winner for the Rathasker Stud-based freshman. 1st-Kempton, £5,400, Mdn, 6-21, 2yo, 6f (AWT), 1:13.51, st/sl. ENDURING (GB) (c, 2, Coulsty {Ire}--Yearbook {GB}, by Byron {GB}) was sent off as the 5-2 joint-favourite coming back from a June 3 debut fourth tackling five...
Having broken the all-aged track record on debut at Yarmouth June 3, The Lir Jet (GB) was a temptation that Qatar Racing couldn't resist and the operation's acquisition proved on the money as he emulated the 2009 G2 Norfolk S. success of his first-season sire Prince of Lir (Ire) on Friday. Registering the breakthrough first win for that freshman on fast ground at the East Anglian venue, the 9-2 shot had easier conditions to deal with here and also a trailblazing Wesley Ward runner as Golden Pal (Uncle Mo) powered...
Off the mark over five furlongs at Newcastle June 2, Nick Bradley Racing and Elaine Burke's Dandalla (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) really turned it on in Friday's G3 Albany S. as she came home alone. Sent off at 13-2, the bay travelled with zest anchored in rear early by Ben Curtis as Flying Aletha (Tiznow) cut out the running. Moving between rivals with menace approaching the two pole, she was in front soon after and galloped resolutely to the line for an emphatic six-length success from the 11-4 favourite Setarhe...
