Commenting
on the February National Hunt Sale, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said:

“We are
very pleased with the quality running through our catalogue. A large number of
the yearlings have strong pedigrees and we would expect there will be strong
interest in the lead up, which will then result in buoyant trade on the day.
It’s the start of a big year for Tattersalls Ireland with the 50th Derby Sale
set to be the highlight on the Store Sale calendar. Nominations for the Store
Sales close in just over three weeks, and we’ve seen heightened demand for
places at our leading National Hunt sale.”
