This year's Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Foal Sale will be catalogued by day in alphabetical order, the auction house announced on Tuesday. The new format now aligns with all Tattersalls sales in Ireland and is a well-established format across the industry. There will be no change to the foal-selling days as each day will be treated as a separate entity and catalogued alphabetically by dam with the same starting letter applying to each day throughout the four-day foal section.
The benefits of the A-Z lotting system will offer advantages to both purchasers and vendors. Barns will now be a safer area for buyers to view foals with less congestion, allowing more time and space to view individual lots. Also, vendors and consignors with larger consignments will be able to work from one base for the duration of the sale and not have to move to a different location each day.
The November National Hunt Sale will take place from Nov. 10-16.
