Son of Pour Moi tops Day 2 of the August National Hunt Sale

The
son of Pour Moi (Lot 387A) topped Day 2 of the Tattersalls Ireland August National Hunt
Sale, selling for €65,000 to Gearoid Costello and consigned by Greenville
House Stud. The
three-year-old son of the Epsom Derby winner, who missed his original date at
June’s Derby Sale, is a half-brother to two Grade 1 winners SHATTERED LOVE and
IRISH CAVALIER. 

The
Fame And Glory (Lot 298) gelding
who led the session earlier in the day made €46,000 and was bought by Paurick
O’Connor and Robert Tyner.

Consigned
by Kildallan Farm the gelding had a significant pedigree update after the
catalogue was published – his five-year-old half-brother Braid Blue (Gold Well)
won two bumpers in August.

Day 2
produced an average of €8,890, a median of €5,400, an aggregate of 
€1,377,950 and with an improved clearance rate of 70 per cent.
