The pair sold for 120,000 guineas apiece with turnover on the final day topping 3 million guineas taking the four-day total to just shy of 35 million guineas, a record for this sale.
The average was a record 51,285 guineas whilst the median was a record equalling 25,000 guineas.The first of the Showcasing foals to realise 120,000 guineas was the filly out of the Fasliyev mare Park Law knocked down to Timmy Hyde Jnr from Camas Park Stud.
The filly is a sister to Pavilion, a winner at two and three whilst her third dam Madam Dubois is the dam of the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Indian Haven.Yeomanstown Stud secured the Showcasing colt out of the Tagula mare Duchess Dora for 120,000 guineas from leading trainer Mark Johnston’s Friar Ings Stud.
Johnston purchased Duchess Dora in foal at last year’s Tattersalls December Mare Sale for 40,000 guineas.At the conclusion Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony commented: “The world’s highest priced filly foal in 2018, record December Foal turnover of nearly 35 million guineas as well as an unprecedented number of foals selling for 500,000 guineas or more are all heartening statistics.
“The December Foal Sale has confirmed that the demand for quality stock remains robust despite uncertainties in the market place.“We look forward to seeing a large number of this week’s purchases returning to Tattersalls as yearlings next October.”
The international buyer list included Australia, Dubai, France, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the USA.|
