Tattersalls Online and Treo Eile Announce New Sale of Retrained Thoroughbreds

Tattersalls Online and Treo Eile are pleased to announce a new collaboration for 2026 with the launch of a dedicated online sale of retrained thoroughbreds on 27^th – 28^th July, to be staged alongside the Tattersalls Ireland July Show taking place from 24^th – 26^th July.

The Treo Eile Summer Sale in collaboration with Tattersalls Online will provide a high-quality platform to showcase the versatility of retrained racehorses, while offering a transparent and commercial route for their transition into second careers.

This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of Tattersalls and Treo Eile to equine welfare, integrity and innovation. Entries will be open to retired or unraced thoroughbreds that meet defined performance criteria across key disciplines including eventing, showjumping, dressage, working hunter and showing. 

Treo Eile will provide vendor support throughout the process, including guidance on preparation, retraining, and sale requirements, ensuring a consistent and professional standard across all entries. All lots will be subject to pre-sale veterinary requirements and will feature a pedigree, racing and retraining history on their sale page.

The full catalogue will be published on the Tattersalls Online website two weeks in advance of the sale providing ample opportunity for prospective buyers to conduct enquiries and arrange inspections.

To highlight the long-term success of retrained racehorses, a shared €5,000 Treo Eile Graduate Bonus will be available to purchasers of sale graduates competing successfully across five selected competitions during the 2027 season.  

Tattersalls Online Sales Manager Katherine Sheridan commented on the announcement:

“We are thrilled to partner with Treo Eile on this exciting new initiative which further strengthens Tattersalls’ commitment to thoroughbred aftercare. Retrained racehorses continue to demonstrate their adaptability and talent across a wide range of disciplines. This collaboration provides a dedicated, trusted platform to connect these horses with new owners and reinforces our shared focus in supporting the thoroughbred beyond a racing career.”

“Staging the sale alongside the Tattersalls Ireland July Show enhances engagement with the new concept and underscores our partnership with Treo Eile, with the Tattersalls Ireland Treo Eile Pathway Series final also taking place that weekend.” 

This sale represents a progressive step for the industry, creating a dedicated platform for retrained thoroughbreds and reinforcing their value across a wide range of equestrian pursuits. 

Further details, including entry information, will be released in due course.
