SEVEN lots at the Tattersalls December Mare Sale in 2018 brought a million guineas or more, headed by Pearling for 2,400,000gns and Bound at 2,200,000gns. This time a single lot sold for a seven-figure sum.

Stowell Hill Stud’s Coplow sold to MV Magnier, his sole purchase of the week, for 2,100,000gns and after the sale Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony paid tribute to the vendor and the achievement. He said: “The obvious highlight of the week was the sale of Jeanette McCreery’s outstanding broodmare Coplow. Jeanette and her late husband Bob have achieved so much success over the years and the sale of Coplow was a magnificent tribute to their years of commitment to our industry.”
