The four-day Tattersalls December Foal Sale got off to a solid start on an opening day with a son of IFFRAAJ topping proceedings at 57,000 guineas on a day that saw six lots sell for 40,000 guineas or more. The turnover fell narrowly short of last year’s opening session despite offering 18% fewer foals, whilst the average and median rose significantly by 16% and 60% respectively.
