AUCTION RACE QUALIFICATIONS FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLD MAIDEN RACES IN POINT TO POINT STEEPLECHASES IN 2024

Auction races for four-year-old maidens will be restricted to horses which have been sold or bought in by public auction under the hammer at a recognised National Hunt Store sale in Ireland or Great Britain in 2023 as an unraced three-year-old.

(For the avoidance of doubt, horses which are unsold having failed to reach their reserves do not qualify, nor do private sales).

(i)              The "recognised National Hunt Store sales" referred to above for these races in 2023 comprise of the following: - 

The Goffs Spring Store Sale, Goffs Arkle Sale, Tattersalls Ireland May Store Sale, Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale and Tattersalls Ireland July Store Sale.

 (ii)            The first sale will govern the price if the horse is sold more than once in 2023

                 (Exclusions - horses which have been sold or bought in by public auction under the hammer at any of the above sales for more than the highest permitted price specified in the race conditions).

(iii)            Confined to horses who have been purchased at the above sales in 2023 for €25,000 or less.

(iv)            In the case of any dispute, the official sale return will be used to determine the validity of the sale. The Directors of the INHC will be the final arbiters of qualification for entry.

(v)             Any sale conducted outside the sales ring (private sale) will not be considered to qualify the horse to run in these races.
