The Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale will be held after racing on Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival, Mar. 13. There are a total of 12 initial entries in the catalogue that was released on Wednesday.
Of the dozen lots so far, 11 are winners, 10 of them winning on debut and seven scoring on their first starts as 4-year-olds. Clondaw Park (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}) is one of the highlights, as she ran out an eight-length debut winner at Lisronagh on Feb. 23. Trained by Mick Goff, she is out of a Teofilo (Ire) half-sister to the eight-time Grade 1 winner Nichols Canyon (GB) (Authorized {Ire}). Cristal d'Estruval (Ire) (Crystal Ocean {GB}) became the first point-to-point winner for his sire at Lisronagh on the same card that Clondaw Park triumphed. Point-to-Point winner Bally Free (Ire) (Flemensfirth), from the family of Grade 1-winning chaser Strong Promise (Ire) (Ire), will also be offered.
Past sale graduates include the Grade 1 winner Romeo Coolio (GB) (Kayf Tara {GB}), who co-topped the sale in 2023.
