Potts said: "She will go breezing, I thought she was the nicest in the sale, she is really racy looking and athletic. I looked at her while I was viewing the Part I horses. The dam was very smart.
"Hopefully, she will be back and will breeze well. I thought she'd be popular.

"When you see the likes of Con Marnane as underbidder it gives you a bit of confidence. She has a great back pedigree, too, and I hope she is lucky for John, he has been having a great season and is restocking with more yearlings."

She has lots of residual value, but more importantly she is a lovely, racy filly with a great temperament.
"I had not planned to buy something like her here today, but when I saw her this morning, I had a change of plan!"
Consignor Derek Veitch of Ringfort said: "She has been consigned for a client and she came to us about six-seven weeks ago for her prep. She has done really well and has strengthened through her work, or maybe it is the Ringfort grass? It is lovely for the staff at home.

"Poppy Kay was a good mare, she was rated 138," said Eileen and Jimmy Furlong of Thistletown. "She is back in-foal to Walk In The Park, and we wanted to give her every chance to produce a winner. It is a good start for the week – we have five tomorrow and the next day and two for the last day."
The Furlongs have "around 20 mares" at home and offer all the progeny as foals. (13:47)
Lot 225: "He is a lovely foal, I thought the nicest here today, and he is by a very popular sire in Blue Bresil," reported Ian Ferguson after going to €50,000 for the Clonbonny Stud-consigned February foal.
"He has been bought for a client and will come back to me. I doubt he will see a sale ring until he has done something on the track."
The colt is out of Onefortherose (Doyen), who was placed over hurdles. She is a half-sister to Patricks Park (Insatiable), winner of the Grade 1 Guinness Handicap Chase, the Sandyford Handicap Chase (G2) and placed in the Galway Plate (G1).
It is already another good price for the sire – his gelding out of Tell It To Me (Lot 62), sold by Mill House Stud, topped the yearling session yesterday at €50,000.

Grand-dam Sallie's Girl won ten times, including the Boyen Hurdle (G3) and the Johnstown Novice Hurdle (G3). She was also placed nine times the best result when a runner-up in the Drinmore Chase (G1). (14:38)
Lot 258: bloodstock agent Aiden Murphy had reason more than anyone else to go to €40,000 for this Order Of St George colt – with his son, the trainer Olly Murphy, he bought the foal's half-brother Thunder Rock in 2020 as a winning point-to-pointer.
The Shirocco gelding has subsequently gone on to win six races, place twice and run nine times. He has picked up over £54,000 in prize funds.
He won on his first start this season – his first outing over fences in a novices limited handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter. Despite carrying top-weight off an official mark of 135, he won by a comfortable four and a half lengths having jumped well throughout.
He was sold by Ballincurrig House Stud for breeder Ms Olivia Hegarty of Rock Hall Stables.
"Thunder Rock is a fine horse and was impressive last week," said Murphy. "I think Olly is planning to tip away quietly with him. This foal will come back to me and there are no plans as yet." (15:21)
Lot 279: there were plenty in the ring to see the No Risk At All colt from Ballyreddin Stud go through the ring, and the witnesses got to watch Peter Nolan end up as the successful bidder at €44,000.
The colt boasts talented siblings on the Flat and over timber – his half-sister Swipe Up (Holy Roman Emperor) won the Italian 1,000 Guineas (G3) this year, while his Poet's Voice half-sister Rayna's World has been placed in mares' graded races over hurdles. Furthermore, his dam Salmon Rose is a half-sister to the 11-time winner and Dubai World Cup (G1) star, Prince Bishop. (15:54)
Lot 305: despite the many friends and family in the 'H' complex with the Yellowford Farm draft, we managed to catch a word with the team before they headed for a celebratory cup of tea after selling this Walk In The Park colt out of Chesapeake (Network) for €47,000 to Kieran Shields.
Yellowford supremo Frank Motherway ushered daughter Deidre Cashman to report on the sale.
She said: "We bought the mare in 2018 – I think we bought her well as we paid just €8,500. We sold her older foal by Solider Of Fortune here to Timmy Hillman for €39,000 two years ago, and now she has had a good result today – she has done really well for us. She is a lovely big mare, big and strong."
The farm has had plenty of success with the sire, and the son of Montjeu has provided a rich seam for the Motherways. The farm has sold a lot of horses at Tattersalls by Walk In The Park, including three for six-figure sums with a top price of €200,000 given for the three-quarters brother to Hurricane Fly, who was sold at the 2021 Derby Sale.
At this sale in 2020 two Walk In The Park foals consigned by the farm made €100,000.
Cashman added of the decision to use the sire with Chesapeake: "He was fashionable at the time and she is an outcross, and we try and send young mares to proven stallions. She is not in-foal now as she was getting late."
Yellowford has another 26 foals to sell this week (and another six by Walk In The Park) and before they headed for that cup of tea, the team bid us goodbye with the words: "We hope you have reason to come and speak to us again over the next few days!" (17:31)

The colt is the first foal out of the black-type hurdles placed mare Place des Vosgnes (Rip Van Winkle). She is a half-sister to the Group 1 Crtierium de Saint-Cloud runner-up Hannouma and Dominada, a runner-up in the Scottish County Hurdle (L). (10:33)
Lot 404: the Newsells Park stallion Nathaniel gets top class types on the Flat – none less than this year's Derby winner Desert Crown – but he has also done well with his jumping runners and so has been attractive to NH breeders – his progeny stay well and have some pace, and he covers number of NH mares each year.
The Dudgeons sent their good mare Via Delle Volte (Motivator), runner-up in the Junior Fillies' Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (G3) at Cheltenham, to the Hertfordshire Stud to see the son of Galileo, and she produced this colt from her second pregnancy.
Ian Dudgeon, who flew in this morning, said: "We have just the one mare and we bought her out of training from Mr Deer of Oak Grove Stud. We definitely wanted a mare with black-type and she fitted the bill. John Haydon, who used to run Clarendon Farm, advises us and we sent her to Maxios first time and then to Nathaniel.
"We sell them all as foals – I used to train and have 30 acres near Wincanton so it is nice to have a broodmare around the place, but my wife is worried that we will get too many on the place so hence they are sold as foals. We are both now nearer 80 than 70 and she does not want to be mucking out horses!"
It was a first trip to Fairyhouse for Jess Westwood's Molland Ridge Stud, one of two lots offered here this week by the farm.
"Jess has had him since September, she has done a great job," added Dudgeon.
The colt was bought here by Timmy Hillman, who said: "He is fine foal, and by a top-class stallion in Nathaniel, who has also got some good NH runners. There are not many opportunities here this week to buy a colt by him." (11:07)
Lot 434: the full-brother to Lilly Pedlar, the Yeats Grade 2-placed hurdler trained by Nicky Henderson, makes €34,000.
Both siblings were bred by successful NH breeder John Lightfoot, with this colt sold today by Mill House Stud.
Dam Mathine run over jumps in France and is a Malinas half-sister to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run (12:08)
Lot 401: John Kilbride of Kilbride Equine goes to €42,000 for the Milan colt out of Rossavon (Beneficial) offered by Graiguebeg Stud.
The March-born foal boasts a fine immediate family.
He is a full-brother to McFabulous, an eight-time winner and a four-time Grade 2 winner of a bumper and over hurdles. He has also been placed many times at graded level, including in the Aintree Hurdle (G1).
The foal is also a half-brother to Waiting Patiently (Flemensfirth), a six-time winner with the Ascot Chase (G1) amongst those victories. He has also been Grade 1 placed over fences five times.
This is the first of the dam's progeny that has been sold as a foal by breeder Mr Vincent Finn (11:00)
Lot 437:  Affinisea's first crop are four-year-olds of this year and the son of Sea The Stars has already had two winners under Rules, including the two-time winner Affordable Fury, a 3l winner at Galway last week having won his bumper at the beginning of the month at the same track.
The gelding is trained by Noel Meade, who said after the race: "He has an engine and isn't slow. It might come too soon but the Monksfield Novice Hurdle at Navan [on November 27] is an option."
This foal by the sire is out of Hurricane Linda (Stowaway), an own-sister to the talented and admirable runner Hidden Cyclone, and was sold by Whytemount Stud, which stands Affinisea and also stood Stowaway. The colt was bought by Joey Logan Bloodstock for €40,000. (13:37)
Lot 479: Thistletown Stud produced the Day 1 top lot and the farm has struck again this morning, and with another by Walk In The Park, this time a filly. She was bought by Peter Molony for €70,000.
"She has size and scope and is a great mover," said Molony. "I saw her this morning and loved her, she is beautiful and has loads of quality. She has been bought for a partnership, will come back to me and will be resold as a three-year-old."
The filly's dam Catcheragain (Flemensfirth) was Grade 3 third-placed over hurdles and she is her fourth foal.
It is the winning black-type family of the Champion Hurdle (G1) winner Make A Stand, the Grade 1 winners Shattered Love and Irish Cavalier and the Grade 2 chase winner Make A Track. (14:02)
Lot 482: Will Kinsey's Peel Bloodstock with Future Bloodstock purchased the talented race mare Limini here in 2019 for €75,000, and today the team recouped their investment with the sale of her second foal, colt by Nathaniel bought by Tom Whitehead signing as Altenbach Bloodstock as a Derby Sale prospect.
It was a first venture into the sale ring for Future Bloodstock, and two from the bloodstock group, Ross Alberto and David Greenway, are at Fairyhouse to see the sale.
Alberto reflected: "At the time we were surprised we managed to buy the mare, and without her we wouldn't be here today. We have added more since and have got some more to sell tomorrow. It is mixed emotions at the moment – we are delighted to have sold so well and be the 'clubhouse leader' for the moment, but it is sad to see him go, but he made his value and they have to be sold. Let's hope he has a bright future."
Greenway added: "Limini's first foal by Australia has been retained, she is the spit of her mother and we are just breaking her in and she will go into training for us. We race a few mares."
Of the decision to use Nathaniel as the mare's covering sire, they said: "Well, he is one over our side of the Irish Sea, which helps, and COVID stopped us really travelling too far. We are huge fans of the sire, and have supported him well over the last few years – she lost one by him before this foal and is back in-foal to him now."
They concluded: "This foal looks cracking individual, we just hope he goes on, and that the rest we have to sell this week are as popular!" (14:29)
Lot 487: Eoghan Loughlin was given the post-sale reporting duties by his father and consignor Oliver Loughlin after selling this Walk In The Park colt out of the Listed-winning Stowaway mare Posh Trish for €85,000, the highest-price sale so far this week. He was bought by Joey Logan Bloodstock.
The mare was bought by the consignor for €118,000 here and it is another good result for a foal out of a talented race mare purchased at the Tattersalls November NH Sale.
Loughlin Jnr said: "We bred his dam Posh Trish, sold her as a foal and bought her back here two years ago. We were budgeting €80,000 or €90,000 for her then, but she was coming home and that was it... we loved her. This is her first foal and we are delighted.
"He was a lovely foal from Day 1, he came up here and did everything great, and it is a great price for him. Posh Trish is the quietest mare ever, her temperament is brilliant and her foal's temperament is very good too.
"She is back in-foal to Walk In The Park and is due in February. Walk In The Park is a great sire with Douvan and Min and he had two maiden hurdle winners yesterday, and had a point-to-point winner on the weekend, he keeps doing it."
Of the rest of the week, Loughlin said: "We have six in tomorrow, four colts and two fillies."
The Loughlins also sold Lot 490 to Alan Harte Bloodstock for €57,000, another by Walk In The Park and out of the Alderbrook mare Alleygrove Lass, and Lot 499 for €72,000. The colt foal is out of Hour Before Dawn (Yeats) and by Crystal Ocean. (14:50)
Lot 529: Hillview Stud enjoyed its best result at Fairyhouse since 2010 when selling this Blue Bresil colt. The foal was widely expected to be one of the stars of the day and he did not disappoint – buyer Michael Fitzpatrick of JC Bloodstock had to go to €82,000 to secure the colt out of the Fame And Glory mare Chill Time.
The Fenton family of Hillview were all smiles after the sale – along with a few tears from mother Kathleen.
Son Ken Fenton, formerly of Tattersalls Ireland and now with HRI, was taking time out from the day job to see the colt sell – father David was leading the foal up and busy post-sale with press photographs.
"He is fine big foal, and we are delighted, and he has gone to a shrewd judge and we wish his new owners all the luck," said Fenton Jnr. "Dad bought grand-dam Kilcoleman Lady at this sale in 2002 as a foal and we bred everything out of her – the two black-type runners as well as Chill Time.
"We have retained Chill Time's Robin Des Champs three-year-old and she goes into training with Willie Mullins, and Chill Time is back in-foal to Blue Bresil."
Of the sire, Fenton said: "He came to the Cashman's farm – we are nearby in Fermoy and Dad has always been a big supporter of the farm. He went to see the horse and really liked him and thought he'd suit the mare – and the filly last year was really nice." (16:18)
Lot 539: Yellowford Farm enjoyed good result on Day 2 of the November NH Sale with a foal by Walk In The Park, and the farm repeated the feat again today on Day 3 selling this colt out of the Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed Lackaneen Leader (Oscar) for €72,000.
The colt was bought by Sabrina Harty, and she said: "He has been bought for a client as a store horse and to come back here. He has everything, he is a good size and is very correct. We thought we'd have to pay that sort of figure for him – the way the market has gone you have to buy the dream if you can. Hopefully, he will be lucky as he is for a good client."
The mare has not yet had a runner but has a two-year-old filly by Order Of St George and a yearling by Crystal Ocean.
"She has been to visit good sires before this foal so hopefully one of them can come out and do something," added Harty.
It is a fine pedigree all the way through the generations – Lackaneen Leader is a half-sister to Don't Touch It, winner of the Champion Novices Hurdle (G1) and the Black Hills Handicap Chase (G2).
Under the third dam is Rubissimo, a Grade 2 chase winner in France, while under the fourth dam is the French Listed winner Nifty Nora as well as the Triumph Hurdle (G1) winner Snow Drop, the French Grade 1 winner Lina Drop, the Boyne Hurdle (G2) winner Snow Falcon, as well as the Grade 1 winner L'Ami Serge and the Listed winners La ZIngarella and Holy Joe.

Lot 547 and Lot 564: both foals by Walk In The Park and both sell for €50,000 or more
Lot 547, from Ballincurrig House Stud, out of the Beat Hollow mare Magical Miss, a half-sister to Mossley, who was a runner-up in the Spa Hurdle (G1), is bought by Oak Tree Farm for €52,000, while Ian Ferguson goes to €50,000 for the colt out of the Presenting mare For A While. The colt was sold by Sunnyhill Stud and is from the farm's leading pedigree of the Gold Cup winner Kicking King, Magic Daze, Kalashnikov and Kalane, (17:33)
Lot 582: the only colt by Doctor Dino catalogued this week makes €45,000, he was bought by Brown Island Stables and sold by Annshoon Stud.
He is out of the Authorized mare Harrisburg, a winner over hurdles and a sister to the Gary Moore-trained Grade 2 hurdler Goshen, who so famously fell in the Triumph Hurdle (G1) when looking the likely winner.
The pair are half-siblings to Elimay (Montmemarte), who is a multiple graded race winner over hurdles and fences.
The most expensive by the sire to sell at Tattersalls is Ecrin Vert, purchased by Joey Logan Bloodstock at the Derby Sale in 2021 from Oak Tree Stud. The gelding was the fourth top price at that sale.
Annshoon Stud also sold Lot 581, a colt by Walk In The Park for €47,000. He is a first foal out of the winning Satri mare Dame Anjou. (18:46)
