MEON Valley Stud, in the ownership of Mark Weinfeld, has for many years been one of the stalwarts of the Tattersalls sale ring and they regularly feature among the leading vendor lists at the yearling sales. This year was no different and they stole the headlines on the opening day of Book 1, securing 2,600,000gns from Roger Varian for one of the earliest lots in the sale.
