More Grade 1 Winners than any other Store sale

Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale, held in partnership with MSL Mercedes-Benz is recognised as the Ireland’s Premier Store Sale, and is renowned for being the leading source of Grade 1 winners. To maintain that long held view, the emphasis when selecting our stores is on quality. As a select sale, our inspectors handpick the best individuals with pedigrees to match, resulting in a catalogue that makes it distinctive from other Store sale catalogues. Since it’s inception in 1974, the Derby Sale has produced the top priced Store sold anywhere, while regularly producing the highest average and median.

Graduates Dominate Spring Festivals

The spring festivals at the Dublin Racing Festival, Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown saw Derby Sale graduates dominate and all four festivals saw more Grade 1 winning graduates succeed than any other Store sale.

The 2024/25 National Hunt season produced memorable performances from graduates, with Kopek Des Bordes and Final Demand emerging as leading novice hurdlers. Elsehwere, Jonbon added three more Grade 1s, while Brighterdaysahead won back-to-back Grade 1s during the first half of the season.

Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper

The Derby Sale, in partnership with MSL Mercedes-Benz, yielded some impressive final figures in 2025 with turnover across the two-day sale hitting €17,576,500. That figure represented a 26% increase from the corresponding sale 12 months previously.

The top priced Store sold anywhere in 2025 is a Derby Sale graduate, with a son of Walk In The Park, out of the three-time listed winner Posh Trish being purchased from Ballyreddin and Busherstown by Dan Skelton and Ryan Mahon for €285,000.

A record 38 lots hit six figures, while four three-year-olds surpassed the €200,000 mark. The average increased by 11 per cent to €53,262, while the median price showed a 13% increase to €43,000.

The two-year-old section was reintroduced to the Derby Sale, and that saw 11 horses sell for a total of €543,000. The average was €49,364, and the median figure in this section was €52,000.

The demand for quality from the Irish point-to-point field is as strong as ever, and that’s reflected in the spend from the likes of Monbeg Stables, Sam Curling, Denis Murphy, Matthew Flynn O’Connor, Colin Bowe and Jonathan Fogarty.

Monbeg Stables concluded the Derby Sale as the leading purchaser for the eighth consecutive year, securing 27 lots in total, with a spend of €1,407,000. Timmy Hillman’s Castledillon Stud ended the sale as the leading consignor. They were strongly represented numerically, but there was a lot of quality in the Castledillon Stud draft, and three were purchased for six figures, while their average just exceeded €60,000.

The Derby Sale attracted leading trainers, agents, and owners from all over Ireland and the UK, with trainers such as Willie Mullins, Olly Murphy, Jonjo O’Neill and Gordon Elliott all featuring prominently on the final purchaser table.
