Tattersalls has appointed Timmy Hillman to the role of Group Flat Sales Representative.

Hillman, who has conducted yearling inspections for Tattersalls Ireland since 2015 as well as managing his own Castledillon Stud, will take on the wider role for both Tattersalls and Tattersalls Ireland with immediate effect

Hillman’s primary role will be to undertake inspections in Ireland for yearlings nominated to the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales. In addition, Hillman will continue to inspect yearlings nominated to the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale and the new Tattersalls Ireland Ascot Yearling Sale, as well as sourcing Irish entries for all sales held at Tattersalls in Newmarket.

Hillman said: “The Tattersalls October Yearling Sale has long been the preferred choice of so many Irish breeders and it will be a pleasure to be inspecting some of the finest Irish yearlings on behalf of Tattersalls, in addition to carrying out a similar role for Tattersalls Ireland.”
