“I’d be hoping for an increase of around ten percent, given we rose 10 percent last year,” Mr D’Arcy said.

“It could be more, we don’t get ahead of ourselves when we are predicting…anything ten percent and above is going  to be a trememdous result,” Johnathan D’Arcy said.

A total of 270 yearlings have been sold in the first two days for a gross of $15,881,500 already only $4million shy of last year’s record.

There are still 209 lots to be sold tomorrow, including another 11 by I Am Invincible.
