The third and final session of the Deauville August Yearling Sale saw 131 yearlings change hands (78.4%) for a total of €10,626,000 (+9%) and an average price of €81,115 (+14%). Trade remained fiercely competitive thanks to a highly international buying bench, with agents and trainers representing interests from America, Qatar, France, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia featuring on the list of purchasers. 8 yearlings commanded prices in excess of €200,000 while only one had achieved the feat last year, and the highest price reached €450,000, a figure that had never been seen on the final day of the August sale.
