WE will learn a bit more about the strength of the store horse market next Thursday when over 250 unbroken three-year-olds are offered for sale at Tattersalls Ireland.

This sale was only established in 2018 and, despite the Covid interruption, it has established itself as a serious auction. Cheltenham Festival winner Slade Steel was sold for €30,000 here in 2021. Another Henry de Bromhead-trained Festival winner, Telmesomethinggirl, was also sourced at this sale, as was Nicky Henderson’s Grade 1 winner Jango Baie.
