Former Grade 1-Winning Jockey Robbie Power Joins Tattersalls Ireland

Robbie Power | Tattersalls Ireland

Former G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup and G3 Grand National-winning jockey Robbie Power has been appointed to the Tattersalls Ireland Bloodstock Team, beginning on Monday, Oct. 3. He will assist Tattersalls Ireland with inspections, promotions, pre-sale and sales day matters. Originally from Co Meath, Power retired from the saddle earlier this year after riding 31 Grade 1 winners. Power rode predominantly for trainer Jessica Harrington.

Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, “We are thrilled to welcome Robbie to the team at Tattersalls Ireland and his appointment comes at an opportune time as our Breeze-Up and Store Sales inspections commence in the New Year. Robbie's experience, horsemanship and passion for racing perfectly complements the current team and further strengthens our Irish inspection team of John O'Kelly, Jamie Codd, Timmy Hillman, Chris Farrell, Richard Pugh and Barry O'Neill.”

Power added, “It's a huge pleasure to be joining Tattersalls Ireland and I am really looking forward to this next chapter in my career. I have been coming to the sales at Tattersalls Ireland since a young age and it feels like I have come full circle to now be working alongside the team full-time. A key part of my role will be inspecting some of the best stock in Ireland, both Flat and National Hunt, and following them as they begin their careers on the racetracks which is hugely exciting.”
