The hospitality was also widely praised, and these are very encouraging signs for the future.“The European breeze-up market has been particularly challenging this year, yet we achieved a clearance rate of over 60%, which is a very respectable result. We welcomed buyers from France, England, Ireland, Australia, Spain, Serbia, Italy and Romania, demonstrating the international appeal of the sale.“Consignors were delighted with the experience and many have already committed to returning with larger drafts next year. We would like to thank all industry participants for the confidence they placed in us for this inaugural edition, and we look forward to welcoming them back next year.”The post Aktem Breeze-Up Sale Topped By Blue Point Colt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
