A select sale of three and four-year-old National Hunt Store Horses. The May Store Sale, only three-years-old, has produced results both in the ring and on the track.

For the first time since 2019 the Tattersalls Ireland May Store Sale was able to be held on its scheduled date, and the numerous point-to-point trainers in attendance, all seeking next year’s leading four-year-olds, produced a vibrant day’s trade.

Competition was strong for the top lots, horses by young NH sires were in particular demand, and the one-day session was topped by a son of Affinisea (Lot 179), sold by Knockalane House to Denis Murphy’s Ballyboy Stables for €50,000.

The session saw 207 lots offered, 165 horses sold at a record clearance rate of 80 per cent. The day’s median price was €13,000, the average was €16,390, while the aggregate concluded at €2,704,400.
