The profile of the September Yearling Sale has grown significantly in stature and is now increasingly recognised as a leading source of quality two-year-olds as is reflected with racecourse results across Europe. The September Yearling Sale has already produced more two-year-old winners in 2024 than any other yearling sale, which has earned it the headline Europe’s Leading Two-Year-Old Yearling Sale in 2024.

The sale has had a remarkable year, producing Stakes winners globally. Additionally, numerous graduates have made impressive debuts, with victories across several countries, including Ireland, UK, Italy and Spain. These successes highlight the international appeal and quality of the September Yearling Sale.

Commenting on the release of the September Yearling Sale catalogue, CEO Simon Kerins said:

“Due to the outstanding success of last year’s sale, which was the standout sale of 2023, the profile of the September Yearling Sale is improving year on year. This year, we experienced unprecedented demand from vendors, which is extremely encouraging as it shows that they are choosing the September Yearling Sale over alternative sales. Their decision has allowed us to formulate a strong catalogue full of quality, giving purchasers the confidence that this is the strongest catalogue we have ever produced for this sale.

“The September Yearling Sale has produced two-year-old winners’ week after week through the season, while graduates such as Purple Lily, A Lilac Rolla, American Sonja, Folgaria, Ponntos, and Sea The Boss have been flying the flag with Stakes success.

“We are appreciative of the continued work being done by Irish Thoroughbred Marketing to increase the appeal of the sale. We look forward to welcoming clients from all over the world back to Tattersalls Ireland from 24 – 26 September.”
