Thoroughbred Horse Auctions. Insights, news and useful information about selling race horses in South Africa and worldwide.
On the opening day of the 2014 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1, a total of 107 lots were sold for 20,185,000 guineas at an average of 188,645 guineas and a median of 140,000 guineas. The average represented the second highest opening day average for the sale, whilst the median, which was up 19% was a new opening day record for the sale.
The median tells rather a different story. The median is the price half way between highest and lowest price, useful especially when total numbers are on the small side, by making the influence of high prices less
China Horse Club purchased a total of 5 horses, including top lot, Auvray (Le Havre-Ameyrah/In The Wings), who is earmarked as a potential Melbourne Cup contender.
We are delighted to have secured the up-market and horse friendly venue of Val de Vie Estate. It is particularly pleasing that Breeders have conveyed their strong desire to support their own Sale in the Cape and we expect buyers to be equally excited at the opportunity of buying horses at this spectacular venue.
Tattersalls’ flagship sale has attracted a truly outstanding collection of yearlings, including own or half brothers and sisters to 42 Group 1 and Classic winners and 232 Group/Listed winners.
