"We witnessed solid trade here today at the Tattersalls Ascot June Sale. It was extremely pleasing to sell a top lot of £90,000, the highest price achieved at this sale in three years together with a very strong clearance rate of 84%. The key statistics, the aggregate, median and average have made considerable gains and this sale has developed itself as a reliable source of quality form horses that the market identifies with and that is evident by the very strong trade we have seen here today.
