Just as it had last year, the clearance rate wound up at 91% during a strong evening's trade at the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale on Friday. The median was up 8% at £65,000, the average was £77,375, and the aggregate £3,095,000.
There were a pair of joint top lots at £190,000: The Denis Murphy-trained Grey Getaway (Ire) (Getaway {Ger}) (lot 39), who was bought by Paul Nicholls, and Muckamore (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}) (lot 46), purchased by Nicholls and Tom Malone.
Tattersalls Cheltenham Director of Horses in Training Sales Richard Pugh said, “Tonight's sale showed that the ferocious demand for form horses and proven point to pointers continues. 12 horses surpassed £100,000, with 40 of the 44 lots offered exchanging hands and contributing to the strong clearance rate of 91% and a rise in the median of 8%.”
