SUSTAINED DEMAND FROM START TO FINISH AT ALL LEVELS OF THE MARKET
EUROPE’S PREMIER YEARLING SALES
If the 2020 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale was hailed as a story of remarkable resilience in the face of uniquely challenging circumstances, the 2021 edition should be hailed for the sustained demand from start to finish at all levels of the market. We work hard to attract international buyers every year and the overseas contingent, most notably from America, Australia and throughout the Gulf region, made a huge contribution throughout the Sale, but without doubt the most encouraging feature of the 2021 Tattersalls October
Yearling Sale was the domestic British and Irish demand which was a revelation. Book 1 set the ball rolling with a show of strength that saw significant gains in all of the key indicators and gave a hint of things to come with a record number of six figure transactions which demonstrated the depth and diversity amongst the buyers. Books 2 and 3 followed suit with unrelenting competition amongst extraordinary numbers of buyers and records for turnover, average and median which can only inspire confidence for the industry going forward. Similar to Book 1, the number of yearlings at Book 2 selling for 100,000 guineas or more was unprecedented, as was the number of yearlings reaching the 50,000 guineas mark in Book 3.
We have a magnificent product and the 2021 Tattersalls October Yearling Sales showcased so many of Europe’s finest yearlings to a global audience. The consignors and breeders have shown huge faith in the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales and they have been spectacularly rewarded. Park Paddocks teemed with life from start to finish and after the ordeals of the past months it was a real pleasure to see the sales grounds, the bars and the restaurants alive with activity again, reinforcing Newmarket’s status as the hub of the European thoroughbred industry.
