The Tatts Autumn HIT Sale provides an annual demonstration in the yawning gap between prize money in UK/Ireland and our international counterparts- for foreign buyers, expensive horses make sense, but in UK/Ire, it only makes sense to sell

An INCREDIBLE @MCYeeehaaa post-race interview with Kendrick Carmouche...

Amazing to hear Al Aasy failed to sell privately 4-5 years ago when a vet said he was one run away from breaking down. He retires as a 9YO with 13 stakes wins, including a Gr2 win this year 🌟
🗣️"We'll give him a wonderful home for life."
Nine-year-old 𝐀𝐥 𝐀𝐚𝐬𝐲 has been retired after his run @NewmarketRace
And racing will be much poorer without him 🔵⚪️🔵

What a special filly Sun Goddess is, and great for racing that she was bought for £80k- a lot of money for most people, but attainable by racing’s elite standards. Back when Sioux Nation was under-rated. Great ride by Moore too, not leaving anything to chance 🙌🏼

🇧🇭 Lovely to speak to Shaikha Maryam Al Khalifa to the #TattsAutumn HIT Sale.
She chats to Aly Vance about her ambitions with retraining thoroughbreds, including the horse she has purchased here to compete in the ROR Showing & Hunter classes.
Interesting to hear from @WeirViewStud @Lackendarra_stb, Jason Kelly and Bill Dwan @TheCastlebridge about their experience at the yearling sales as a whole
"I found it very tough. You got well paid if you brought a horse that could have been in a better sale, like the Orby, but outside of that, I found there was no bottom at either the first two sales."

Record yearling prices need to be considered alongside record foal prices & high stallion fees - plus can most end users continue to pay such prices while prize money remains stagnant?

Angus Gold believes those setting stallion fees should be mindful of 'a very tough market' - "I’m just saying we've got to leave a little bit of room for everybody to survive.”
