THIS year’s edition of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale had a hard act to follow with records having fallen by the wayside in 2018. As it happened last year’s figures proved to be out of reach, but this was still an excellent sale.

In 2018, Book 1 played host to an unprecendented 14 seven-figure transactions. That number fell to a still excellent 10 this time and it was notable that over the three days the number of six-figure transactions held steady at 278.
