Our Breezers Are Ready To Race.

The Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale is firmly established as a leading sale of it’s type. The sale is held over two days in late May, with the horses breezing at Fairyhouse Racecourse and afterwards making the short journey across to the Tattersalls Ireland sales complex. A huge advantage for vendors is the time saving and efficiency in moving between both venues, while purchasers have stated that the close proximity of both venues allows for viewing the breeze and conducting inspections to be done in a timely manner.

The record clearance rate recorded in 2024, combined with the diverse buyers bench, demonstrated the demand for two-year-olds from this sale. The final sale figures illustrated the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale to be the strongest performing Breeze Up Sale worldwide in 2024.

On the racecourse the sale has proven itself as a reliable source for Stakes class
performers, with Coto De Caza winning for a third time in the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes and shaping like a sprinter of real promise. Other graduates of note include Group 3 Anglesey Stakes winner Kairyu, Group 1 Irish Oaks third Purple Lily, and Group 3 Round Tower Stakes winner Letsbefrankaboutit. Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale graduates have also been winning valuable prizes in Hong Kong, with Happy Together and Taj Dragon landing Grade 3 prizes at Sha Tin earlier this year.

The 2024 Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale produced a record turnover exceeding €9.5 million, a 12% increase from 2023. A new record average price was set of €43,634, while the sale produced a phenomenal clearance rate of 90%, up from 83% in 2023.

The top lot was a filly by Sioux Nation, consigned by Greenhills Farm and sold for €370,000, the second highest price ever paid for a filly at the sale.

The 2024 figures saw activity in the six-figure bracket increase to 21, while six lots were sold for at least €200,000. The expanding international racing programme resulted in purchasers from 18 different countries including Ireland, the USA, Scandinavia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Hong Kong, the UK, Poland, Germany, and Italy.
