The three-day November NH Sale ended on Wednesday with a low-key session but the average price achieved over the entire sale was up 5% at €21,023, a record for this sale. The median price held steady at €15,000 (equalling last year's record) and the clearance rate was up by three points to 69%.

Another positive to take from the week's trade was that, despite this year’s catalogue being almost 100 lots fewer than last year the sale still produced a 50% increase in the number of foals selling for €70,000 or more.
