PROMOTERS of the inaugural Cape Town Premier Yearling sale, held in the unconventional surroundings of the city’s waterfront international convention centre, closed the books on Friday evening with the feeling of a job well done.
CAPE TOWN’s inaugural premier yearling sale ended its opening day with nine one-million-rand or more purchases, a top price of R2.5 million (£221,581/€256,271) for a half-brother to South Africa’s record money-earner Jay Peg, and a below-expectations clearance rate of 68 per cent, from 105 lots out of 150 originally catalogued.
