Lot 413 is a son of Poet’s Word | Tattersalls Ireland<\/p>\n
The two-day Tattersalls Ireland August NH Sale concluded on Thursday, with 305 lots (63%) grossing \u20ac3,411,400. The aggregate marks the highest turnover at a Tattersalls Ireland July or August NH Sale since 2019 and an increase of 30% on the 2025 equivalent July Store Sale.<\/p>\n
Other metrics also rose sharply, with the average of \u20ac11,185 up 26% compared to last term, and the mark is the third highest in the July or August sales in history. The median rose 25% to \u20ac7,500. Twenty-seven horses made \u20ac30,000 or more over the two days, the highest number at the July or August NH Sale since 2014 and the second-best ever. Only 13 lots made \u20ac30,000 or more in 2025.<\/p>\n
During Thursday’s trade, nine lots hammered for \u20ac30,000 or more, anchored by a son of Poet’s World (lot 413). He sold for \u20ac36,000 to Kevin Ross Bloodstock and was part of the Lisroan Farm draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is for a client in England and has been bought as a racing prospect,\u201d said Ross of the son of West Asleep, herself a half-sister to three black-type horses. \u201cHe is out of a Westerner mare and has a good dam line. He missed his date at an earlier store sale.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, \u201cThe National Hunt store market has been extremely buoyant this year, with record trade at the Derby Sale, and there was strong anticipation ahead of this week’s sale. Following the change in sale date from July to August, we were very pleased with the continued support from our vendors, as well as the strong participation from buyers, and to see increases across across the board.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuyers were particularly focused on horses with commercial appeal. We had a strong presence of clients looking to prepare, race and trade horses, which contributed to healthy competition for horses with the right profile, however it would be remiss not to acknowledge that it was selective for those horses that did not meet with the exacting requirements of the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of Ireland’s leading point-to-point handlers were on site over the two days, and we look forward to following the progress of our graduates in the point-to-point fields next spring. It was also encouraging to see a strong UK presence, with owners and trainers from across the water featuring prominently on the buyers’ table.\u201d<\/p>\n
