THE 2026 Tattersalls Ireland Breeze-Up Sale ended with a new record turnover of €12 million, and set new records for median and average. The hugely satisfactory clearance rate of 87% showed that the demand has not lessened for racing prospects.

After a slow start, trade built throughout the day, and the five lots to realise €300,000 or more were sold in the last few hours of trading. Tying for top spot were a daughter of Starman and a son of St Mark’s Basilica, both selling for €360,000.
