That's not spin!!!!  The clearance rate at time of print was the same.  If they had said "the clearance rate is the same as the last 4 years but we predict by the end of tomorrow that it will be well up on the last 5 years" - then that's spin!!!!!!!

Looks like 75%+ again today which seems ok, though thought overall might have been a bit stronger.

Some nice looking yearlings went through today based on type and movement.

I thought so too though didn't watch much live. Looked like a few at buyable prices too.

They should have stated in the NZB release that the aggregate, average and median were higher, quoting data, all of which they did.  Then quoted the clearance rate and said it was on a par with last year.

If you just report the positive stuff then the release is spin
