Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said: "The profile of the May Store Sale has shot to prominence with the exploits of our Grade 1 graduates Slade Steel and Jango Baie. These results instil confidence in our clients that there is quality to be found at the opening store sale of the year. 

"The catalogue has attracted the progeny of sires that are in demand by National Hunt purchasers, while also attracting a nice blend of well-related siblings and the progeny out of smart race mares."
