Lot 14: another 2024 in-form breeze up consignor gets a six-figure result – Katie Walsh's Greenhills Farm sells this filly by Starspangledbanner for €100,000 to Ollie Sangster Racing, a first purchase at Tattersalls Ireland by young trainer Sangster under the business banner.
Walsh has enjoyed plenty of success at the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up having sold the sale's record-priced lot in 2022, and was also the second-leading consignor here last year.
The 2023 Greenhills-consigned colt out of Omanome and by Sioux Nation, who fetched €240,000 bought by Avenue Bloodstock, went on to be named Letsbefrankaboutit. He won his maiden on his debut and then took second place in the Round Tower Stakes (G3).
The farm also was this year's leading consignor at this year's Tattersalls Craven Sale by average.
This May-born filly is a half-sister to Rohann (Mayson), the David Evans-trained sprinter who collected the Sandy Lane Stakes (G2), two Group 3 successes and was three-times Group 1 placed. So far the six-year-old has won 10 races from 41 starts. (11:18)
Lot 7: Glending Stables, which sold the dual Group 1-winning juvenile Vandeek as a breeze up horse in 2023 for a top price at the 2023 Craven Sale, an repeated the Craven Sale top lot feat this year when selling the last unraced son of Galileo for a million guineas, produces this colt by Blue Point for €125,000, bought by Kevin Ross Bloodstock.
The May-born colt is out of the two-year-old winner Timpani (Raven's Pass), a half-sister to Poseidon Adventure, a dual runner-up at Group 1 level, as well as to Kisses for Me, who was thee-time placed in Listed races.
"He is for Paul and Clare Rooney," said Ross. "He has some size and scope, is a back end type and is one for the future. A trainer has not yet been decided." (10:59)
Lot 4: the Too Darn Hot colt from Hyde Park Stud, who did a good time on the breeze, becomes the first today to sell for over €200,000 fetching €210,000 to regular Tattersalls Ireland breeze up buyer Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock.
This colt was bought as a yearling for 20,000gns by Hyde Park Stud at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale last autumn, the colt is out of the Mastercraftsman Listed placed mare Tears Of The Sun, a daughter of the Listed winner Perfect Star, dam of the Prestige Stakes (G3) winner Kilmah.
Brown said: "In early! The stallion is doing it all over, and looks special and that sire line is pretty potent. He has come from a very good hotel, John [Bourke] has sold a lot of good horses including Cachet [1,000 Guineas winner] amongst others.
"He did a very good breeze, he is a real baby and is only a May foal. He will be going into the field now for a month with Richard Morgan Evans, he will keep jogging in the mornings but will be out in the afternoons. I just feel he is a real frame – I was going to say that he needs a month of grass and good weather, I am not sure he is going to get the latter!
"But I think that will really see him explode physically. He won't be going into training for a while, and we have no trainer in mind yet." (10:25)
