KILKENNY SALES PREVIEW MAY 30TH 2026
Vinny Grennan.
Kilkenny track is the place to be on Saturday morning where an exciting 63 lots will be on sale. This sales line up has something for everyone and there is plenty here to suit all buyers.
Some of the stand out performers for me are lot 1 a Jan 25 bitch with a smart 29.30 trial on 1st May. Lot 6 Drumbane Heart has one of the highly sought after pedigrees being a half sister to last years International and Derby winner Cheap Sandwiches. Only notable entries include Lot 10 Lacken Glen who recently clocked 29.33 in a qualifying trial while lot 24 Elsies Melody was a recent victor in 28.72
One dark one is lot 22 while form guide mightn’t be sensational this I think could be a real BARGAIN BUY.
Lot 1 Mustang On Fire Bk B )Newinn Taylor x Mustang Markle) Jan 25
Impressive winner of her only trial to date in a very slick 29.30 around Clonmel on 1st May. Clearly a smart lady with a very big future. Will be on a lot of peoples shortlist.
Lot 2 Doubtful Lizzy Bk Bitch (Newinn Taylor – Doubtful Buzz) Jan 25
Winner of her only trial to date when clocking a smart 17.03 around Clonmel at the beginning of May. Damline has thrown plenty of smart types. One of the youngest bitches in the entire sale being a Jan 25.
Lot 3 Rosstemple Ben Dkbd d (Signet Ace – Rosstemple Ley) Dec 24
Runner up in his three trials to date behind lot 7. Dam was a winner in 28.68 around Cork. Still only a young raw puppy who is filling into his frame and can only improve. He looks sure to give new connections plenty of fun nights.
Lot 4 Mustang Melody Bk B (Newinn Taylor x Mustang Markle) Jan 25
Runner up on her only trial to date on 1st May when beaten six lengths in 29.30 when beaten by Lot 1.
Lot 5 Klassy Lucy Bk Bitch (Newinn Taylor – Doubtful Buzz) Jan 25
Impressive winner of her recent trial stopping the clock in a promising 16.61 around Clonmel. Could be a Klassy sort if she stays. Watch with interest.
Lot 6 Drumbane Heart Bk B (Droopys Got It – Hearthill Josie) Dec 24
What a pedigree this lady has. A half sister for 2025 Irish Derby winner and Dundalk International winner Cheap Sandwiches. Ran into a hot one in her only race to date when beaten eight lengths in 28.95 around Clonmel. Winner of both her qualifying trials prior to her maiden race. Will be huge interest in this lady.
Lot 7 Rosstemple Dug Dkbd d (Signet Ace – Rosstemple Lucy) Dec 24
Winner of his three trials to date including a 29.95 trial around Cork on 24th April. Still a young raw pup who should more than able to pay his way.
Lot 8 Johnson Bk D (Callaway Pro Am – Callaway Annika) Nov 24
Only one line of form to go on when winning his qualifying sprint on 1st April in 19.42 around Limerick. Dam was a winner three times in her career with a career best 28.60. This is her first litter but there is plenty of positives to this November 24 pup.
Lot 9 Ninja Berkley F D (Grangeview Ten – in Range) Nov 24
Dam was a four time career winner with a career best 28.94 Hard to assess this November 24 pup who only has one trial to date on his card. Siblings look useful and could be worth taking a punt on.
Lot 10 Lacken Glen Bk D (Jacob Tashadelek - Lacken Bluebell) Nov 24
For me this could be one of the potential sales toppers if his recent qualifying trial on 8th of April is anything to go by where he stopped the clock in 29.33 around Kilkenny. Clearly a dog with a big future and merits plenty of respect.
Lot 11 That Is It Bk B (Callaway Pro Am – Callaway Annika) Nov 24
Runner up to her comrade and fellow sales entry Johson in her only trial to date. A young bitch who is a very inexperienced lady who will need time to come to her best. Open to improvement for sure.
Lot 12 Snazzy Roadwheel Bk D (Dorotas Wildcat – Fiorentis) Nov 24
This unraced son of Dorotas Wildcat has three trials on his card to date. Comrades all have smart lines of form and there could be a real gem here.
Lot 13 Spailpin Jet Bk D (Ballymac Kingdom- Antiqua Princess) Nov 24
Winner last time out on 15th May at Cork when posting a career best 29.27 Clearly a progressive young dog on the upgrade and will be a big addition to any kennel. Dam won the 2020 Englsih Oaks, 2021 RPGTV Juvenile and reached several major finals throughout her career and has produced smart types to date. Is this another?
Lot 14 Honey Trigger Bk D (Swords Rex – Traceys Pet) Nov 24
Winner first time on the 2nd May showing plenty of pace to win in 29.22 around Waterford. An interesting sort from a damline that has thrown plenty of winners. He is on my shortlist….

Lot 21 Kilgraney Jan Bk B (Ballymac Cashout – Flaminhasntabob) Oct 24
Young lady who is still learning the game but continues to improve with each run which is a great sign. Should be lots of fun to be had with this lady.
Lot 22 More Of That Bk D (Droopys Got It – Ohtheresky) Oct 24
