TWO markedly different days of trade made up the 2025 Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale, but together they produced a set of results that were broadly in line with some of the best of previous editions of this sale.

Now into its second half-century, Part 1 of the sale saw turnover of more than €17.5 million, which was the fourth-best return in the sale’s history. The median equalled the third-best ever, and the average has been bettered just three times. The turnover on the second day was a record for a single session of the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale.
