September Yearling Sale returns to Ireland with fantastic figures
“Last year saw the September Yearling Sale take place in Ireland for the first time in two years and the trade was incredibly strong. Most noteworthy was the record number of horses selling for €50,000 or more and turnover that surpassed all previous sessions held in Ireland.
“We had a catalogue of quality yearlings catering for all sectors of the market and the footfall seen across the few days was phenomenal. We focused extra attention on welcoming buyers back to Fairyhouse and we were rewarded with the buzz that was felt around the barns and newly improved sales complex. Purchasers descended in their droves from the UK as well as a strong contingent of overseas buyers who all went to battle with a strong Irish buying bench.

“We would like to thank the vendors who supported us and purchasers, all of whom have contributed to the success of last year’s record-breaking renewal. Irish Thoroughbred Marketing were exceptional to work with on the lead up to the sale and enticed customers with their excellent IRE Incentive Scheme. The sale has displayed a remarkable resilience the last three years and we look forward to moving ahead with it now and continuing to build on it year on year.”
