Great to win the Punchestown bumper with exciting Sea The Stars mare Eastern Whisper on debut
Well done to Sonny Carey, Patrick Mullins, and all the team. Bought at @Tattersalls1766 for £28k
Exciting future ahead
If you are a Substack addict like me, I think you’ll love this (zero affiliation!). Just text @Offprint_ all the articles you want to read and they send you a lovely magazine full of them each month. So cool.

How quickly they grow! 18 months later and this fella is still a great advert for Bouttemont having made 57,000gns at the @Tattersalls1766 Somerville Sale yesterday. Best of luck to Sean Woods and all his new connections. 🙌
Have a look at this fella! 😂 Less than two days old and already full of energy and character. He is the first foal by Bouttemont to be born on the farm here and I think it’s fair to say he is a very good advert for his sire. #BoutteBaby

The first yearlings by Bouttemont will sell at the @GoffsUK Premier Yearling Sale in the next two days. Four of his progeny are in the sale and are all worth seeing, but IMO this colt out of the Group 3 winner Lady Wingshot is up there with the nicer types in the entire sale.

Matt O’Connor’s gives his reaction after receiving €50,000 for a son of Fifty Stars whom he purchased for €12,500 as a foal in November 2023.

Vaneadi wins at Compiegne to give FIFTY STARS his first winner over hurdles with his first runner. He is also sire of a maiden winner on the flat in France. His only runners from his first crop of 3yr olds. @NGAZracing

Perfect finish to a great week! A Piece Of Heaven wins the Chester Cup. Magnificent target training by @JosephOBrien2, wonderful ride by DBM and great reward for the patience of @SyndicatesHQ as the horse had a couple of setbacks along the way. What a day! 🙌
Magic day to win one of the UK’s biggest handicaps with A Piece of Heaven @SyndicatesHQ - he was well named!
Flying to [redacted city] for a super secret demo day tomorrow I can't fully talk about, will share what I can.
Very much worth following along #horsesinspace
The current media meta in tech tends to lionise past success or focus on the immediate future.
I always felt technology most inspired when taking a longer lens on timelines, so started working on a series of thoughts/chats about 2050 starting here. 👇

The next chapter of the Bouttemont story starts today with his first foals selling at @Goffs1866. There are 11 on offer and early highlights are a half-brother to Coventry Stakes winner Buratino (lot 17) and one of my own that I think is a real beaut (lot 279). Don’t miss them!
Irish sport sleeping on how big a deal these performances are from Ben Healy in global sport - he takes yellow in the Tour De France 💛
@EFprocycling
Irish sports fan bandwagon high alert 🔥
Ben Healy 🇮🇪 gone almost a minute clear at the Tour De France with 30km left

We sell what might have been our best horse ever this week and you can buy her.
She had three starts in her life, an unlucky second, a 12 length bumper win and a 21 length bumper winner
Ellen Kelly sells without reserve this week @tatts_online
Joe & Joe Jr. are two of the finest gentlemen in horse racing. They deserve every ounce of success that comes their way (as does Gary Carrol). Brian really captures their charm, honesty and love of the game here. They aren’t afraid to buy either.
“I'm 70 now & I was thinking, 'F*** it, I'm after living my life & I've nothing to show for it.' But now, it feels like it has all been worthwhile.”
Spoke with Joe Murphy snr & jnr about what Cercene’s breakthrough G1 success @Ascot meant 👇

We’re extra proud of this winner - speedy Far Above The Law (you might guess the stallion) wins impressively at Windsor, a total star 💫
Trained by the excellent @ahaynesracing and bred by the shrewd @thompsonsports and Mick Buckley.

The breeze from last year’s #TattsOnline Breeze Up Session @DundalkStadium which caught the eye of @jackcantillon & led to him buying the Coulsty filly for 27,000gns.
Four months later 𝐅𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋 won the €120,000 Irish EBF Auction Series Race Final!
