A SPARKLING day of trade on Wednesday at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale ended with the second-highest gross for a single session at the sale, while the top lot Harlem was the fifth highest-priced lot in the history of the sale.

Remarkably, only 16 of the 302 lots offered failed to find a purchaser, resulting in a phenomenal clearance rate of 95%. Harlem was one of eight lots sold from Juddmonte Farms for 100,000gns or more and their 32 lots sold contributed nearly a quarter of the day’s takings.
