Tattersalls Ireland announced the cancellation of the February NH Sale, which had been scheduled for Apr. 7. Despite exploring all possible options to hold the sale safely, Tattersalls Ireland was informed by the Department of Agriculture that staging a bloodstock sale in Ireland while facing the continuing effects of the pandemic would not be permitted.
Lots catalogued for the February NH Sale will now be offered in conjunction with the yearling section of the November NH Sale.
“We explored every avenue to hold the sale and to offer vendors the chance to sell their stock but unfortunately, it is not possible to hold a physical sale while the country remains in Level 5 lockdown,” explained Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins. “We have received positive feedback from vendors who understand why we needed to make this decision and we would like to thank our clients for working with us and remaining incredibly patient through these turbulent times.”
Tattersalls Ireland's flagship Derby Sale is scheduled for June 23 and 24.
