First National Hunt foals purchased at Tattersalls Ireland

Posted on 16 November 2017

The Tattersalls Ireland November sale is the premier place to purchase National Hunt foals and I was delighted to be asked by a client to purchase 2 foals to re-sell as 3-year-olds. It was my first visit to a National Hunt foal sale but as a seasoned purchaser of flat foals it all clicked into place very easily and I was very pleased with what was purchased.

The first purchase was Lot 648 a Flemensfirth colt out of an unraced Al Namix mare called Muance. Muance was herself a full-sister to Grade 1 winner Grandouet who won the Champion 4yo hurdle at Punchestown as well as the Grade 2 International Hurdle at Cheltenham. He was a colt with good size and scope and had lots of quality about him. He cost โ‚ฌ43,000 and will return to the UK until being sold as a 3-year-old.

The second purchase was Lot 662 a Milan filly out of a winning bumper mare by Vinnie Roe called Pepelina. Pepelina is herself a half-sister to Listed hurdle winner Pepe Simo and to multiple hurdle and bumper winner The Eaglehaslanded. She cost โ‚ฌ10,000 and like the colt will return to the UK and be sold as a 3-year-old.

I thoroughly enjoyed purchasing these National Hunt foals and after the success of Golden Birthday and The Statesman this year I would like to expand my National Hunt business so if you are interested in purchasing a Cheltenham winner please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
