CONFIDENCE must be high at Tattersalls Ireland ahead of next week’s Derby Sale, held in partnership with MSL Mercedes-Benz, following a fantastic season for graduates and strong trade at the preceding Goffs Arkle Sale.

Headline acts over the past 12 months included Brighterdaysahead, Croke Park, Final Demand, Jonbon, Kopek Des Bordes and Romeo Coolio. Mersey Novices’ Hurdle winner Honesty Policy advertised the value that can be found at the Derby Sale, where he was sourced by Pat Doyle’s Suirview Stables from Glenwood Stud for €35,000.
