Roger Casey, managing director of Tattersalls Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be teaming up with Goresbridge to offer a sale of this calibre. It makes sense to host it during the Tattersalls International Horse Trials when so many riders and owners are already here from all over the world and to offer them the best potential young Irish horses available.”
