A SON of Pinatubo headed the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale on Monday at 200,000gns, on a day that saw a record 13 lots realise six figures or more. The average was a record, whilst the turnover has only been bettered once. It was a positive start to two weeks of selling at Park Paddocks.

Colourful owner Clive Washbourn drew laughter, and a round of applause, after securing Lynn Lodge Stud’s Pinatubo colt for 200,000gns, having jumped the price from 170,000gns along with a call of ‘show us your money’, and ending with a roar of ‘get in’ when the hammer fell. The colt is a son of the Dubawi mare Narak, herself a daughter of the Group 1 Matron Stakes winner Chachamaidee.
