Gross, average up at Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale
By Glenye Cain Oakford

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Fasig-Tipton Midlantic’s Eastern fall yearling auction ended Wednesday with gains in gross and average and a slightly lower median.

Topped by a $250,000 After Market colt that Jay Em Ess Stable bought from the Charlton agency, the two-day sale grossed $6,273,800 for 392 yearlings, a total that was up 12 percent from last year’s gross for 387 horses. The 2010 average price jumped 10 percent, rising from 2009’s figure of $14,513 to $16,005. But median dropped 3 percent, falling from $5,500 to $5,350.
