AN evening session, after racing on the July course, brought the 2021 renewal of the Tattersalls July Sale to a resounding close last Friday.

Two lots sold for 100,000gns, bringing the total for the three days to 21. Just three lots in the final session failed to sell, and the two Friday sessions combined saw a clearance rate of a remarkable 98%. The overall turnover of 12,301,300gns is the fourth highest in the sales’ history, and the median was a record-equalling 12,000gns.
