Tattersalls has announced that the four-day December Foal Sale, which starts on Wednesday, Nov. 25, will now start at 10am each day, an hour earlier than originally scheduled in the catalogue.
The change has been made in response to a smaller number of withdrawals from the sale than usual, which would in turn have led to a later finish time than originally anticipated.
Commenting on the amendment, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “There is no doubt that COVID-related changes to our selling procedures combined with full catalogues have contributed to some long days at recent sales and we are keen to avoid this scenario if at all possible.
“The original start time of 11am for each day of our December Foal Sale reflected this year's smaller catalogue and now that we appear to have fewer withdrawals than expected, we feel it is in the best interests of all participants to start each day at 10am, an hour earlier than published in the catalogue.”
The one-day December Yearling Sale next Monday will commence as planned at 11am and the following week's December Mare Sale will begin each day at 9.30am.
