Lot 90, a Sea The Stars colt, was the highest priced yearling in the world this year at 3.7m guineas (Picture: Tattersalls)
At the conclusion of Book 1 of the 2025 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;
“Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale consistently showcases the finest British, Irish, French and German bred yearlings to a global audience and this year’s renewal has been no exception. Longview Stud’s Sea The Stars colt out of Crystal Zvezda and Newsells Park Stud’s Frankel colt out of Aljazzi, which realised 3,700,000 guineas and 3,600,000 guineas respectively, are the two highest priced yearlings in the world this year.
“A remarkable 70 lots have sold for 500,000 guineas or more as we have welcomed buyers from throughout the world to Park Paddocks. As ever, the support from the Gulf region has been a feature as has the large number of American buyers who have purchased more than 40 yearlings.
“Last year’s renewal of Europe’s premier yearling sale was widely regarded as one of the more remarkable sales of recent years, bucking the trend of earlier yearling sales that autumn with wide margin increases in all the key metrics. Those results saw the bloodstock market take a significant upturn over the last twelve months and whilst a drop in average and median were to be expected with the larger catalogue, it has been gratifying to return figures that are second only to last year’s record renewal.
“We now turn our attention to Books 2 and 3 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale which begins on Monday, 13th October.”
