Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 20, 2020 Journalists Share Posted August 20, 2020 Tattersalls Ireland held its delayed one-day May Store Sale on Thursday, with the firm’s Chief Executive Officer Matt Mitchell describing trade as “selective.” “The original May Store Sale date was May 14 and in that short of time to now, the impact of Covid-19 has been enormous,” he said. “It is positive that we have been able to hold the sale and to enable the market to function. Trade was selective with buyers adapting a cautious approach.” At the close of trade 99 of the 170 offerings (58%) had found new homes, for an average of €12,310 (-31%) and a median of €9,000 (-40%). The joint top lots were both 3-year-old stores: lot 591, a son of Snow Sky bought by Moffatt and Harley Dunne, and lot 526, a Spanish Moon gelding picked up by Hamish Macauley and Ballycrystal Stables. Each cost €40,000. The post Trade Selective At Store Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
