💬 “Everything my kids have ever eaten, every time I switch on a light at home, put petrol in my car, a horse has paid for all that.” Johnny Hassett of The Bloodstock Connection takes us inside a day in the life of a breeze-up consignor bit.ly/4u5ZB0J

@kevinblake2011 @JSt2389 @JosephOBrien2 @HRIRacing @LeopardstownRC @DylanBrowneMcM @EpsomRacecourse Any to name Fabio Wardly this year Kevin after last nights performance 🤣🤣

Can’t believe that happened. James J Braddock is named after a boxer, was ridden by a boxer in DBM and scrapped like one today. All credit to @JosephOBrien2 for buying him so well, letting an eejit like me buy into him and doing such a brilliant job training him. What a game. 🙌

Rest in peace Daffer, you will be greatly missed by us all.

On the lookout for a sponsor for the next 12 months. It will be ready to be seen at upcoming spring festivals.

🔙 A reminder of the breeze posted by Star Strewn at the Breeze Up Sale last May. She is the 51st individual winner from the 2025 #TattsIreBU Sale, which takes place on the 21 & 22 May this year.

Breeze Up Sale graduate Star Strewn broke her maiden in good style when winning at Dundalk for @adomcguinness1 Owned by @Potts_Adam and @BrianSheerin91, the Starman (@HoStud) filly was purchased at the #TattsIreBU Sale last May from GS Bloodstock by @BBAIreland #TattsIreGrad

Sad news to share...John Connaughton has died almost exactly a year after he was crowned small breeder of the year at the ITBA Awards. He was 93. A hotel owner, he bred G1 winner Bay City Roller as well as the G3 scorer Dunboyne Express. @BrianSheerin91 thoroughbreddailynews.com/absolute-gentl…

What a dude

A classy winner this evening😮‍💨😮‍💨 A @BrzUps buy from @garyhalpin20

#AWTAAD 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 1️⃣ 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤‼️🇮🇪🥇🏆 “This year’s number one will come as no surprise to regular readers, as I profess my admiration for him on a near monthly basis… I really do think he is something special. He has amassed 21 black-type runners, including Group/Grade 1 winners Anisette, Anmaat and Ethical Diamond, not forgetting the remarkably consistent Group 2 scorer Al Qareem, at consistently useful strike-rates…” - @MartinStevensB1 🙌🔵⚪️
