Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 27, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 27, 2018 Day one of the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale returned figures that were up year on year, resulting in a record average and median. The former, up 3%, settled at €54,792, while the latter climbed 7% to €45,000. Of the 197 lots offered, 82% found new homes for an aggregate of €8,821,500. It wasn’t long into the day before the top-priced lot strode into the ring, with lot 22, the unbroken 3-year-old Kayf Tara (GB) gelding Fetch (Fr), bought by Aiden Murphy and trainer Olly Murphy on behalf of Barbara Hester for €250,000. “He is a lovely, strong, quality horse,” said Olly Murphy. “He looks a racehorse and is by a great sire. He is for Barbara Hester, who has supported me from the start and let’s hope he is a good horse. I have a string of lovely young horses for this season.” The second-top lot was Redpender Stud’s 3-year-old Presenting gelding (lot 130) who, as a €40,000 foal, proved a good pinhook at €200,000.
