Busy few days at Tattersalls for the July Sale, two days done and one more to go. So far five purchases and still some to look at tomorrow. Delighted with the new team so far. Some new sires to the yard which is nice, so far we have purchased fillies by Le Harve, Cityscape, Ulysses and Ribchester and a gelding by Ulysses. The July Sale has often been lucky for us...... hopefully that continues.
Let's see who we can add to the group tomorrow!

Another trip across the water and another winner!! Well done Little Empire, super ride by Callum Shepherd to win by nearly three lengths! Congratulations to all his connections.

Whimsy deserves a mention too, she headed off to Gowran and finished a credible third, only beaten by a couple of lengths.

The last 48 hours gave been the stuff of dreams....... Familiar Dreams has left Shabra Stables for the last time and heads to Gordon Elliott for the next chapter in her story. We can't thank everyone enough for the messages and calls over the last two days. She was a pleasure to have in the yard and we look forward to seeing what she does next. We wish her and her new connections the very best of luck.

No words can describe how much this mare means to everyone involved in her. She was sourced by Anthony at Tattersalls and cost 4000 guineas...... tomorrow she walks through the ring for the Goffs Punchestown Sale, but today it was all about her running the best race she could...... she has given so much, her first Graded win, Anthony's first Grade 3 as a trainer and Aine's first Grade 3 in the saddle...... Thank you Familiar Dreams you are an absolute Queen 🐎🐎🐎.

β€œShe (Aine O'Connor) rode her like the best horse in the race and she did exactly the same as she did in Cork,” said winning trainer Anthony McCann after his Familiar Dreams (11/1 - 12/1 - 17/2) landed the Bar One Racing 'Bet 10 Get 50 Sign Up Offer' Mares Pro-Am INH Flat Race at Naas.

Big Dream is recovering well, he is still sore but we are so lucky to have the services of physio Sharon Kelly, this is his second session since we got him home from England. Fingers crossed he keeps improving. Thanks Sharon for looking after him so well.

Thank you so so much to everyone who made contact to check in on Big Dream after his incident yesterday. He was incredibly unfortunate and didn't deserve what happened at all. He is very sore but hopefully he will be ok, lots of tlc at home now. We will give you all an update on him in a few days.

Quick reminder the Cheltenham Preview night starts at 7.30 sharp tomorrow night! Hope to see you all there.

Clearly Simply overheard the plan!!! The good roll keeps on going....... this time we got the black and red colours in the limelight. A positive ride by Conor Brassil saw Simply Shabra power home at Naas this afternoon. A win for Rita is always extra special.

Simply Shabra skipped clear after the last to run out a convincing winner of the two-mile handicap hurdle at Naas for trainer Anthony McCann.

We are very fortunate to be able to travel to the UK and take advantage of their extensive race programme aswell as our own. Wolverhampton proved very lucky for Circles and Billy Loughnane this evening. Its great to back up our Christmas hurdle winner with a winner on the flat...... 2024 is looking good!!!!!

Another year on and his presence is as strong as ever. Last year we unveiled our tribute to Oliver at our open day and he has been keeping an eye on things ever since. We would like to think he would be proud of what we have done this past year...... he certainly would of had reason to celebrate in a few parade rings around the country!! Nine years gone...... never forgotten. πŸ•Š

What a picture!! Muhalhel headed for the beach yesterday for the annual Laytown Races along with Lockdown, That's Mad and Red Cymbal. A 3rd and a 4th to finish off two busy days racing.
On Monday we headed to a very wet Galway with two runners Whimsy and Kiki Badger.
Whimsy kicked off the day with a very gutsy run to finish an impressive 2nd, she was purchased from the Tattersalls July HIT Sale and it was her first run over hurdles, we are looking forward to seeing how she progresses.
Kiki Badger put in an exhibition of jumping in the beginners chase and having disputed the lead most of the way he finished a very credible 3rd on his first run back since his holiday. 🐎🐎

Kratos and Brian Hayes leading Muhalhel and Michael O'Sullivan at the Laytown Strand Races, the only event run on a beach under the rules of racing in Ireland or the UK.

Wishing Dermot and all the team the very best of luck tomorrow!!

We may not have him worried but team Mullins certainly know we are here!

Great to get a mention in this week's The Irish Field for our results last season. The 22/23 NH season saw our best yet and we were particularly delighted with our bumper runners. We saddled 11 individual bumper horses, 5 of which won their races and 3 of those bumper runners went onto win over hurdles. We also achieved black type in a Grade 2 bumper with Rockstown Girl and had our first bumper runners in the UK.

Winners included
🐎 Land Afar
🐎 Rockstown Girl
🐎 Kiki Badger (Bumper and Maiden Hurdle)
🐎 Cash The Cheque
🐎 Final Decision
🐎 Cillians Charm (Hurdle)
🐎 Luminous Light (Hurdle)

Five of the seven horses were sourced for their owners by Anthony and two of those came from HIT Sales in the UK.

Huge thank you to all our owners who support us, to the jockeys who ride for us. Special mention has to go to Aine O Connor who steered all our bumper winners last season and to Jonathan Moore who assisted in sourcing many of the winners and who rode Kiki Badger to win his Maiden Hurdle. Our team at home who do the hard work day to day on the yard, our vet Edel, farrier Shane, physio Sharon and our yard sponsor ARKequine.
