Describe the foal trade this year and the market in general?

This year’s sale was a typically strong renewal with 11 foals making €50,000 or higher. Similar to every other sale, in-fashion sires took hold. Many foals by less conventional sires appeared good value considering the specimens themselves. Buyers are overly concerned with how sires will be perceived at time of re-sale but I’m sure those buying store horses in two years’ time will buy good-moving, well-made individuals too.
