Sales

Ballylinch Stud is renowned as a rich source of top-quality runners, notably the seventeen top level winners that have graduated from our sales consignment to racetrack success. We consign foals, yearlings, mares and horses-in-training through all the major European sales houses.

Over the past 30 years, we have sold in excess of three hundred yearlings which have realised over €100,000, including 10 millionaire yearlings. Ballylinch also sold the most expensive yearling fillies in Europe in 2018 and 2019, for €3,200,000 and €3,000,000 respectively. Notable graduates of the Ballylinch sales consignment include 2yo Group 1 winners Belardo, Chriselliam, Aunt Pearl, Together Forever, Astaire and Sudirman, along with Oaks heroine Forever Together and Al Wukair, winner of the Prix Jacques le Marois. More recently Group 1 winners Bayside Boy and Place du Carrousel as well as Group 2 winners Francesco Guardi, Iberian, Jumby and Isabella Giles have been sold under the Ballylinch banner.

2026 was another excellent sales season, with 64 yearlings selling for an average of almost €180,000, that’s over €11,000,000 in aggregate sales. Seventeen yearlings realised over a quarter of a million, spread across the sales held at Arqana, Goffs and Tattersalls.

On the track, Group 1 success was achieved by Blue Bolt, Miss Scott and Expensive Queen, while we had three winners for second consecutive year at Royal Ascot with Blue Bolt, Limestone and Green Carrera. Jancis, Limestone, Royal Supremacy, Curracloe and Crown Board all claimed victories at Group level. These were only a few of the 120 winners and 26 Stakes horses sold or raised by Ballylinch in 2026 alone.
