“Trade is very good and Tattersalls and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing have done a good job of getting the people here. The sale feels strong the whole way through and there are plenty of nice horses here, which is what the sale deserves as it has been producing results year in year out. We’ve bought nine so far, at varying levels, and it’s been competitive for every one of them.” Ross Doyle, agent.

“Trade has come forward once again and the sale has built on last year’s momentum. The clearance rate is good, there’s been a good cross section of buyers and it’s continued a bright start to the yearling sales season. We’re looking forward to the next few weeks.” Brendan Holland, Grove Stud.
