The Sapphire Sale takes place on the later date of December 16th this year, and offers a final opportunity for later developing foals to be offered on the market. The entry fee for foals is €295, a highly competitive entry fee within this market. A son of Persian Force was the top priced foal at the 2024 edition of the sale when purchased for €50,000.
The most high profile graduate of the sale is Matron Stakes winner Champers Elysees
who is a 2017 graduate. The sale has produced above average juveniles with Coventry Stakes winner The Lir Jet and Molecomb Stakes winner Steel Bull both offered at this sale.
An added incentive for yearling purchasers is the opportunity to enter the
lucrative €250,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes at The
Curragh at the Irish Champions Festival. The vendor of the horse that wins the €250,000 Tattersalls
Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes will drive home in a brand-new Overlander
R240 2-Stall horsebox.
