PROGRESSIVE three-year-old Space Invasion proved a clear highlight of Tattersalls February Sale, with Richard Hannon’s offering bringing 250,000gns on the second and final day of trade.

Steven Parkin’s home-bred was one of four to fetch six figures - one up on last year. The median price of 11,000gns was also positive, matching last year’s record high. From a slightly smaller offering, the average price fell by 1% to 17,838gns, while the clearance rate dropped two points to 83%.
