NEWSELLS Park Stud headed the consignor’s table in Book 1 by some way, but in Book 2 they took the runner-up spot behind Tally-Ho Stud, their final take coming to 1,931,000gns against the Co Westmeath farm’s aggregate of 2,189,000gns.

Newsells Park sold 17 lots compared to 25 for Tally-Ho, resulting in a healthy average of 113,588gns for the English-based entity. Their best of the week was the W & R Barnett-bred Sea The Moon half-brother to the St Leger runner-up Romsdal who sold for 300,000gns to Chauvigny Global Equine.
