THE November Sale conducted by Tattersalls Ireland Ltd at Fairyhouse is by far the world’s biggest National Hunt auction. This year it again extends to six days from Monday to Saturday, November 10th to 15th, and with 1,492 entries, it is larger than last year’s 1,475. The sale starts on the Monday with 272 National Hunt yearlings, then on Tuesday come the first of about 1,000 National Hunt foals which continue over the next three days. Finally on Saturday come some stores and over 100 broodmares. Selling begins at 10am daily.

There have been many individual graded winners in 2013 and 2014, which were sold at the November National Hunt Sale, including Grade 1 stars Lord Windermere, Captain Chris, Bobs Worth, At Fishers Cross, More Of That, First Lieutenant and The New One.
