Record $2.4m Filly Hits Crescendo on Day Two 🎶 Day Two of NZB’s National Yearling Sales Series was one for the history books, with the sale of a $2.4 million filly the highlight on a strong day of selling. 👨‍⚖️ 💥 At the close of trade for the second day of Book 1, the aggregate reached $56,830,000 for 331 lots sold, with the average reaching $171,692 and clearance rate improving to 77%. The fairytale story of the day came early, when Lot 345, a full-sister to #Orchestral (NZ) (Savabeel x Symphonic) was knocked down for an incredible $2.4 million, the highest price recorded for a filly sold at Karaka, and highest priced yearling in twenty-five years.🎻 Purchased by @MulcasterBS and @cwallerracing , who lead the buyers table after two days of selling, Guy Mulcaster was pleased to secure the record-breaking filly.🤝 “She’s a beautiful filly, and the sister (Orchestral) winning on Saturday night really helped.” After a strong day of trade, the clearance and average increased from Day One figures, while twelve countries were represented on the buyers list. “The general consensus was that the second day of Book 1 was a superior day to the first day and that was reflected in the results, so we’re delighted that the figures, after two days, are on par with last year,” commented NZB’s Managing Director Andrew Seabrook.
