Grade 1 glory for Tattersalls Ireland in the Royal Bond

Tattersalls Ireland graduate QUICK GRABIM proved himself a top-class novice when, under a vintage ride by Ruby Walsh, won the Gr.1 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle yesterday at the Fairyhouse Winter Festival for trainer Willie Mullins in the colours of Geraldine Worcester. The Oscar gelding was sold on two occasions at Tattersalls Ireland November NH Sale; as a foal in 2012 when sold by his breeder Oliver Loughlin to Francis Woods for €18,000 and as a yearling in 2013 when Fabricated Products Ltd. purchased him for €22,000 from Ballincurrig House Stud.
