UPWARD CURVE CONTINUES FOR SEPTEMBER YEARLING SALE
Sales and Marketing Director Simon Kerins said: “We have been greatly encouraged with the positive feedback from Vendors and Purchasers alike over the past two weeks on the success of both parts of our September Yearling Sale. The success of our graduates on the racetrack like The Wow Signal, Jack Naylor, Pether’s Moon and Lucky Nine, the huge number of two year old winners and the pin hooking success for Breeze Up Buyers encouraged these buyers to return to Tattersalls Ireland in their droves and we were overwhelmed with the number buyers from the UK and 14 other countries. It is worth noting that this year 1 in 3 or 34% of all lots sold were sold to UK based purchasers and in fact 56% of all lots sold were sold outside of Ireland which gives a real sense of the depth of buyers present at this year’s sale. We are now a real alternative for Irish Vendors to sell their yearlings and we are confident that with the continued support of those vendors we will build on the enormous success of this sale next year and the years ahead”.
