THE November Sale conducted by Tattersalls Ireland Ltd at Fairyhouse is still by far the world’s biggest National Hunt auction. This year it will again extend to six days from Sunday to Friday, November 12th to 17th, though with 1,413 entries it is slightly smaller than last year’s 1,469.

The sale starts on the Sunday with some stores and 199 NH yearlings, then on Tuesday come the first of about 1,070 National Hunt foals, which continue throughout the next three days.

Finally, on Friday come 100 broodmares and fillies. Selling begins at 10am each day.

There have been many individual graded winners in the last four years which were sold at the November NH Sale, including Grade 1 stars Sizing John, Faugheen, Lord Windermere, Captain Chris, Bobs Worth, At Fishers Cross, More Of That, First Lieutenant, Thistlecrack, Yorkhill and The New One.

Among the foals catalogued, there are very large numbers by most of the top sires, including Califet, Court Cave, Dylan Thomas, Fame And Glory, Flemensfirth, Getaway, Imperial Monarch, Leading Light, Mahler, Malinas, Milan, Ocovango, Presenting, Sageburg, Shantou, Shirocco, Sholokhov, Soldier Of Fortune, Walk In The Park, Westerner and Yeats, who have over 20 each.

Such jumping stars as Briar Hill have own-brothers among the foals, and there are half-brothers to Don Poli, Fayonagh and Bellshill, as well as half-sisters to Yorkhill, J’Y Vole and For Non Stop.
