November National Hunt
The leading sale for National Hunt Foals, Yearlings and Mares.
Sale Timings: 10am each day
The four-day sale of National Hunt-bred foals, yearlings and broodmares offers pinhookers a late opportunity to fill orders for their store offering. The sale offers stock from Ireland’s top National Hunt breeders, and is well established as a leading sale of its type.
Over 93% of the 2024 catalogue comprised of foals, with total spend reaching almost €7.5 million. The foal section returned an average just short of €16,500, with the two top priced foals making €110,000 with both sold for racing careers in France. The mares section produced the top priced lot of the overall sale, with the Listed winner and Grade 2 placed Instit purchased for €125,000.
Constitution Hill and Ballyburn are the November National Hunt Sale flag bearers. Constitution Hill remains unbeaten over hurdles, and in 2023 became the third-highest-rated two-mile-hurdler ever in the Anglo-Irish Jumps Classifications. Ballyburn was sold at the 2018 November National Hunt Sale and is now the fourth highest rated hurdler in Ireland after a superb novice campaign that included three Grade 1 victories. He remains a hugely exciting horse heading into his second season hurdling.
