Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper

All horses catalogued and offered at the 2026 Derby Sale are eligible for the Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper, which will be run at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival on December 28th 2027. The vendor of the winning horse will drive away in a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC. For the first time, three-year-olds sold 18 months earlier as two-year-olds at the Derby Sale will have the opportunity to participate in an Irish bumper.

A new record price of €80,000 was set for the one-day sale as a son of Affinisea was purchased for €80,000. In total seven horses were sold for €50,000 or more.

Monbeg Stables added nine additional horses to their 27 new acquisitions across the opening two days. Other Irish point-to-point handlers acquired new horses, with Matthew Flynn O’Connor, Aidan Fitzgerald, and Luke Murphy all featuring among the leading purchasers.
