A record aggregate of €2,749,400 and a record-breaking average of €14,395 (+13%) was set for the opening foal session of the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale on Monday. A total of 191 lots sold (74%) out of 258 offered, and the median was also up 13% (€10,000).
Two fillies, lot 374 and lot 425, were joint-toppers on the day at 70,000 apiece. Ballyreddin Stud consigned a daughter of No Risk At All (Fr)–Jetfire (GB) (American Post {GB}), who caught the eye of Rathbarry Stud. Lot 374's dam won a French listed race and placed multiple times at that level in hurdle races.
Stroud Coleman Bloodstock was in action for Kilbarry Lodge Stud's offering, a Success Days (Ire) filly produced by Dona Katharina (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}). Her dam is a full-sister to Grade 2-winning hurdlers Outlander (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}) and Ice Cold Soul (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}) and Western Leader (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}).
The four-day foal portion of the November NH Sale continues tomorrow at 10 a.m. local time.
