There is an even more substantial catalogue than usual for this year’s August Sale at Fairyhouse, but this time not all of the 793 entries are National Hunt stores, as the sale will begin with about 40 horses in training. This means that the auction will require three days and Tattersalls Ireland Ltd will be selling on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 12th to 14th August. Talented jumpers such as Beef Or Salmon, Tranquil Sea, Ballyholland, Bog Warrior, Oscars Well, Tricky Trickster and Morning Assembly have been bought at the August Sale in recent years, mostly for less than €12,500 each, and prices are usually lower than at the Derby Sale in June.
All three and four-year-olds bought at the August Sale will be eligible for the €100,000 Tattersalls Ireland George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse next Easter.
