The Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale drew to a close with sales on the final day increasing the turnover to almost 27 million guineas, second only to the record set last year.

The sale reached a new level with a diverse buying bench making the auction an outstanding success.

“It is the huge number of overseas buyers we have welcomed this week that has been the stand-out feature of another successful sale at Tattersalls,” chairman Edmond Mahony said.

“The top of the market has been as strong, if not stronger, than ever.

“It is only the second time we have had three lots sell for 400,000 guineas or more at this sale with the buyers of the top 20 lots coming from England, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Australia and the USA.

“Alongside the vast number of buyers from the Gulf region we have also had notable participation from Greece, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Spain.”

“The 1 million guineas sale-topping filly Aljazzi is a tribute to the quality broodmare band assembled at Blue Diamond Stud by Tony Nerses on behalf of Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar.”
