Record clearance rate for inaugural Tattersalls Online Emirates Racing Authority Sale

The first edition of the Tattersalls Online Emirates Racing Authority Online Sale saw a clearance rate of 87 per cent with 13 of the 15 lots changing hands, headed by the sale of three-year-old Daayyem for AED58,000 to Khalifa Alneyadi.

Leading vendor of the day was trainer Michael Costa who consigned four lots on behalf of Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who sold for a total of AED138,500. 

The draft was highlighted by the lightly raced Daayyem, a son of Bolt D’Oro offered with a current ERA rating of 67. Also proving popular was Magsood, who made AED41,000 to Kareem Ramadan. The Too Darn Hot gelding was a maiden winner at Beverley at two and carries a current ERA rating of 83 following his UAE debut at Meydan in January.

Tattersalls Online sales manager Katherine Sheridan said: "Today’s sale marks an important advance in the global thoroughbred online market. We were honoured to have been entrusted with staging the inaugural Emirates Racing Authority Online Sale. The initial support from vendors together with the international depth of bidders underlined the potential of this initiative. 

"Our thanks go to the Emirates Racing Authority for their confidence in the Tattersalls Online platform and to our consignors and purchasers for their enthusiastic participation. We look forward to building on this concept in the future, broadening its reach and continuing to set the standard for innovation in our industry.”

The final sale of the year on the Tattersalls Online platform will be the December Sale from 10-11 December with entries closing tomorrow.
