The four-day foal portion of the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale drew to a close on Thursday with a record average of €17,223 (up 4% on last year). The median and aggregate were both slightly down, at €6,750 (-8%) and €11,195,200 (-4%), respectively.
Leading the way on the final day was a colt from the first crop of the GI Canadian International winner Cannock Chase (lot 1076) who was bought by Joey Logan Bloodstock for €55,000. The colt was consigned by Worsall Grange.
Taking second-top honors was a son of Mount Nelson (GB) from Dungarvan Stud (lot 1133) who fetched €46,000 from Clifton Farm. Hugh Bleahen of Clifton Farm said, “This colt is a gorgeous individual. He is a great walker, we are lucky to see a foal like him–he is the stand out today. Mount Nelson is stamping his stock well and doing a good job. Trade has been very strong this week.”
The sale's session of National Hunt fillies and broodmares takes place on Friday.
