THE 2021 Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale concluded with the third highest turnover in its history, and a satisfactory clearance rate of 82%. Other encouraging returns for the median and average were a cause of some relief and pleasure for the company’s chairman.

In his post-sale statement Edmond Mahony commented: “A median bettered only once this decade, combined with an average and turnover which both compare favourably with the 2019 and 2020 renewals, are all positives to take from the sale, as has been the consistent domestic demand at all levels of the market.
