A VERY strong sales year for Tattersalls Ireland comes to a close next Saturday (November 12th) with the new one-day Sapphire Sale of flat-bred foals, yearlings and breeding stock.
Rebranded this year, the sale features over 200 lots. There are 79 foals, 92 yearlings, one two-year-old filly and 37 older fillies and mares.
All the yearlings are eligible for the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes at the Curragh on Irish Champions Weekend next year.
Among the yearlings on offer are a full-brother to the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes winner Santosha, a Calyx half-sister to listed winning and Group 2 placed Easton Angel, as well as a French Navy half-sister to Coventry Stakes runner-up Eldrickjones.
Bellabel flew the flag for the Sapphire Sale in the US this year, maintaining her unbeaten record stateside when winning the Grade 2 San Clemente Stakes at Del Mar for trainer Phil D’Amato before finishing second in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks. The three-year-old by Belardo was sold as a yearling at the Sapphire Sale for €33,000 to BBA Ireland from Ballybin Stud in 2020.
