A NO Risk At All half-brother to Brighterdaysahead, Mighty Potter, Caldwell Potter and French Dynamite is among th 635 stores catalogued across the three days of next month’s Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale at Fairyhouse.
Part 1 of the sale features 420 horses, which is 30 fewer than last year. Part 2 has 216, an increase of 15. There are 21 two-year-olds in Part 1, continuing the initiative launched last year.
Derby Sale graduates to win Grade 1 races last season included Brighterdaysahead, Jonbon, Romeo Coolio and Grey Dawning, along with Irish Grand National winner Soldier In Milan.
Last year’s Part 1 Sale turned over more than €17.5 million, up 26% on the previous year. The average price of €53,261 was also up 11.2%. Topping the sale was a €285,000 Walk In The Park gelding from Ballyreddin and Busherstown. This year Peter Nolan consigns a full-brother to that sale-topper.
There are two entires in the catalogue, a three-year-old Walk In The Park colt out of nine-time winner Listen Dear, and a two-year-old colt by Diamond Boy.
Also catalogued are half-brothers to The Enabler, Old Park Star, Latest Exhibition, Embassy Gardens and Eachtotheirown, plus half-sisters to Koktail Divin.
All horses catalogued and offered at the Derby Sale (June 24th-25th) are eligible for the Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper, which will be run at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival 2027. The vendor of the winner wins a Mercedes-Benz.
Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said: “The release of the Derby Sale catalogue is always a landmark moment in the sales calendar, and this year is no exception. The inspection team have done incredible work in putting it together, and we are proud to present a catalogue that reflects the very best of what our vendors in Ireland and the UK continue to produce. It is their long-standing support and their consistency in producing horses of this standard that drives the sale’s reputation. The results on the track speak for themselves.”
