Old Vic, Kayf Tara Geldings Highlight Derby Sale Opener

The three-day Tattersalls Ireland Derby sale got underway yesterday with two €160,000 lots taking top billing.

The Coolmore duo of John Magnier and Derrick Smith were the first to strike through trainer Jonjo O’Neill who secured the Mount Eaton-consigned lot 108, a son of Old Vic from the family of Hartstown and Pharney Fox.

Margaret O’Toole had to fight off Howard Johnson for lot 212, a Kayf Tara gelding consigned by Abbey Stables, which was purchased on behalf of an existing client. She also went to €82,000 for another Kayf Tara gelding, lot 194.

Mount Eaton Stud also consigned lot 169, a Flemensfirth gelding out of a full-sister to Brackenfield. Graham Wylie and Howard Johnson went to €130,000 for the horse, an attractive proposition as the duo has already enjoyed success with sons of Flemensfirth, notably with this year’s Arkle winner Tidal Bay

Anna Ross of BBA Ireland was also in the action when she bought a Presenting gelding, consigned by Castletown Quarry Stud, for €105,000. He is out of a full-sister to Grade 1 Power Gold Cup runner-up Galevilla Express.

The sale continues this morning. Results available here.
