Review: The Record-breaking September Yearling Sale

The September Yearling Sale broke all records with buyers descending on Fairyhouse from all corners of the world.

The unprecedented demand resulted in a record clearance rate of 93%, the highest of any yearling sale in the world, so far this year. The surge in footfall also increased the average and median to €42,365 and €37,000, both figures improving by 48% and 54% on 2024.

Robert Hall recaps on some of the highlights from a memorable week at Tattersalls Ireland, which saw a record 25 lots purchased for six figures sums, and featured clients from the US, the Middle East, and Europe, and a strong turnout from Irish and UK based buyers.
