ENGLISH YEARLINGS. LONDON, September 12. The “Daily Telegraph” says: With a prospect of an early resumption of normal racing, prices at Tattersail s yearling sales at Newmarket on Wednesday and Thursday are expected to soar to a new war-time peak, probably totalling three hundred thousand sterling. Heavy bidding is likely for a colt sired by the Earl of Derby’s Hyperion, which is the most valuable horse in the world, and is worth £lOO,OOO. All notable sires will be represented, including Lord Derby’s Fairway, whose offspring have won £12,000 in stake money this season, and Lord Rosebery’s Blue Peter (winner of the last pre-war Derby, and sire of this year’s Derby winner) also the syndicate-owned Nearco, winner of the 1938 Grand Prix de Paris.
