Tattersalls Cheltenham has appointed Ger Hannon as its Irish-based Bloodstock Representative for its point-to-point and horses-in-training sales.


Hannon, who runs the County Clare-based Ralahine Stud and is a successful producer of store horses, is well-known on the Irish point-to-point circuit as a commentator.

He also sources point-to-pointers for British and Irish trainers, many of his graduates having gone on to enjoy Graded race success under Rules.

“I am delighted to be appointed as Bloodstock Representative for Tattersalls Cheltenham,” said Hannon. “I have a great passion for National Hunt and point-to-point racing and I have been involved with every aspect of the industry from buying jumps foals, selling stores, and recommending point-to-pointers. I look forward to working with such a renowned team, and I'm excited about the season ahead."

Tattersalls Cheltenham Sales Manager Shirley Anderson-Jolag said: “I am so pleased that Ger is joining the team, he will bring invaluable experience and knowledge to the role. He has fantastic connections within the Irish point-to-point community and is out on track every weekend.

“Ger will join the existing team of Jamie Codd and Barry O’Neill, all three will be working closely with both handlers and purchasers in Ireland. We are very much looking forward to the start of the new point-to-point season working alongside Ger."

The Irish point-to-point season is due to get underway at Toomebridge on October 5, with the first Tattersalls Cheltenham sale of the 2024-25 season scheduled at Cheltenham racecourse after racing on November 15, Friday of the November meeting.
