TATTERSALLS Ireland stated that “Quality is at the essence of the Derby Sale” when unveiling the catalogue for their flagship sale, held in partnership with MSL Mercedes-Benz, on June 25th and 26th. Some 449 lots are due to go under the hammer over the two days, marking an increase from 406 the previous year, while the reintroduced Part II has 201 lots catalogued.

This will replace the May Store Sale, while another notable change is the inclusion of 31 two-year-olds to be offered at the end of the first day. The company’s sales race has also undergone a revamp, with those offered at the Derby Sale now eligible for the Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Bumper, run at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival on December 28th 2026. The vendor of the winning horse will win a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC.

All leading sires are represented in next month’s catalogue. The stallion with the greatest number of lots catalogued is Blue Bresil at 34, closely followed by champion NH sire Walk In The Park at 33. The progeny of talented racemares also feature, including multiple Grade 1 winner Asian Maze and dual Grade 1 scorer Petite Parisienne.

One of the sale’s current top flagbearers is dual Grade 1 winner Final Demand and his Jet Away half-brother features in this year’s catalogue, along with the siblings of Bob Olinger, Lecky Watson and Majborough. The two-year-old section includes a full-brother to Gaelic Warrior, as well as half-brothers to Conflated and Hello Neighbour.
