Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown Offloads Seven Horses
Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud offloaded seven horses through Tattersalls Online sale for a total of €150,500, marking a significant transaction.
The recent significant transaction made by Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud featured offloading seven horses through Tattersalls Online sale for a total amount of €150,500. Such dispersal drafts that take place annually represent a remarkable event in the racing calendar and frequently offer buyers an opportunity to afford standouts nominally.
Buying the winner of last month’s Midlands National for the highest price at €60,000 from Edward Gleeson was bloodstock agent Tom Malone, who was proud and excited to add another star to his string. He is hopeful that Idas Boy has a good chance of qualifying for the Aintree Grand National, and it is a good reminder how the desires and perspectives of rivals can change due to new acquisitions. Simultaneously, Gordon Elliott had to spend €40,000 to retain two stayers in his stable, and such combinations are probably the most exciting aspect of this draft.
The sale was definitely successful and indicated a range of players and influences that still help Gigginstown remain so effective. Undoubtedly, Michael O’Leary is one of the key individuals who can make some useful moves and build competitive lines effectively.
