Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said of the catalog: "The Tattersalls Ireland Breeze-Up Sale continues to go from strength to strength, and the level of vendor support we have received this year reflects the confidence the market has in this sale. Demand for places was unprecedented, and that is clearly reflected in the strength of this year's catalog.
"The success of our graduates on the racecourse remains a key driver. From classic prospects such as America Queen and Nobody Knows to stakes winners across Europe, the United States, and Australia. The 2025 edition of the sale saw 23 different nations on the final purchaser table, and these graduates are competing successfully in racing jurisdictions across the globe.
"A major factor in the sale's continued growth is our ability to use a world-class facility on our doorstep. The team at Fairyhouse racecourse produces optimum ground conditions, and the proximity of the sales complex to the racecourse lends itself to a seamless process moving between both venues.
"Irish Thoroughbred Marketing play a hugely important role in the continued growth of this sale, and we are very appreciative of the work they do in promoting our sale on the international stage. Alongside our own marketing team, we look forward to building on this momentum and welcoming clients from around the world on May 21 and 22."
