A €46,000 daughter of Dandy Man, who was bought to join Richard Hannon, took the honours as Part II of the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale got underway on Thursday

Expanded to two days from one, Part II is an appreciably more low-key sale than Tuesday and Wednesday’s sessions as evidenced by the figures for the day. If compared directly with last year’s Part II section, the turnover for the day fell by 32% to just over €1.1 million. The average of €7,699 dropped by 14% while the median fell from €7,000 to €5,500.
