Exceptional catalogue for the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham February Sale online
The 2018 renewal
of the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham February Sale to be staged at 1.30pm on
Thursday 15 February has attracted a quality entry of 34 winning and placed point-to-pointers
and form horses. The 2017 February Sale offered the unbeaten and subsequent
dual Grade 2 winner ON THE BLIND SIDE.
The timing of the
sale provides clients with the first opportunity to purchase four-year-old
point to pointers in the new season.
Entries for the
sale include Lot 17 the highly impressive debut 4yo Maiden winner ENVOI ALLEN.
The son of Muhtathir created a big impression when quickening up after the last
to win going away in fine style by 10 lengths at Ballinaboola on Sunday for
handler Colin Bowe and owner Walter Connors. The winning debutant hails from
the same academy as the unbeaten SAMCRO.
Lot 22 WELL SET UP
looks sure to attract a lot of attention. The 5yo daughter of Gold Well could
not have been more impressive when running away with the NH Flat Race at Down
Royal on 31 January for trainer Mark Fahey and jockey Richie Deegan. Held up
towards the rear she caught the eye in running throughout. She made good
progress 3f out and was ridden to assert and win going away in the final
furlong by 11 lengths. A half sister to the unbeaten Nicky Henderson trained ON THE BLIND SIDE, a graduate of this
sale last year she looks a top class prospect in the making.
DLAURO (Lot 33) a
5yo son of Lauro produced a dominant display when bolting up at the first time
of asking in the 5yo Geldings Maiden at Belharbour on Sunday. The Donnchadh
Doyle trained inmate produced a number of prodigious leaps in the hands of Rob
James and sauntered clear from 2 out to win with any amount in hand.
The first foal of the high class MOSKOVA - MOYHENNA Lot14 is a proven track performer to note. She is now the winner of her bumper at Punchestown on New Year’s Eve and her Maiden Hurdle at the same venue on 30 January. The daughter of Westerner showed a great attitude when running out a game winner of her Maiden hurdle for trainer / jockey Denis Hogan over the minimum trip the last day. She has progressed with each run, comes from a very good family and looks a potentially top class mare in the making over obstacles.
