[Wandering Eyes]

Another day, another son of Order Of St George in pride of place at the Tattersalls Ireland July Store Sale. Thursday's top lot is out of listed-placed Little Miss Poet (Yeats) (lot 306) and sold for €50,000 to Darren O'Dwyer Bloodstock.

Consigned by Liss House, the bay is a grandson of G2 Prestbury Juvenile Novices' Hurdle second R De Rien Sivola (Robin Des Champs). Wednesday's topper was also a son of Order Of St George.

The only lot to meet or exceed €50,000 during the sale's second session, the gelding was joined by two other lots to make that price during the Wednesday session. Overall, a total of 296 lots sold from 509 offered (58%) for a gross of €2,617,650 (+10%). The average declined marginally to €8,843 (-2%) and the median dropped 8% to €6,500.

All horses catalogued and offered in the July Store Sale are eligible for the €100,000 Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper at Leopardstown on December 28, 2026.

Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, “The store season concluded with this week's July Sale, which remains an important final opportunity in the National Hunt Store calendar. It follows a month after a hugely successful renewal of our Derby Sale. This week's sale does however illustrate the challenges faced by vendors and whilst a significant number of store horses have already gone through the sales ring this year, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the challenges that face vendors at this level of the market as witnessed by this sale's clearance rate.

“This summer's store sale season has delivered standout results with the Derby Sale being a particular high point. It produced the highest-priced store sold in Ireland this year, and across every key metric it significantly surpassed last year's strong figures. A record-breaking 38 lots sold for €100,000 or more, while a spend of €10 million on day two, was a record for a single session at the Derby Sale.”
