A large number of pinhookers were in action at Goffs today as Part 2 of the November Foal Sale got underway. Spirited bidding for the more commercial foals on offer led to a much improved clearance rate over the corresponding day last year.
The sales topper was Galbertstown Stud’s colt from the first crop of Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf winner Outstrip out of a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 winner Almanaar (Lot 1442 - pictured). He sold for €39,000 to Tally Ho Stud. Earlier David Myerscough went to €38,000 for a Delegator colt (Lot 1347), the first foal out of a sister to a multiple Stakes winner consigned by Rochestown Lodge Stud. Another to make the €38,000 mark was Lot 1471, a son of War Command from Highpark that was purchased by Castlehyde Stud.
A son of Elzaam from Annfield House (Lot 1329) provided another of today’s highlights, falling to Ballyhane for €34,000. Bobby O’Ryan and Suzy Barkley later secured a colt by Dandy Man from Ballinalard Stud (Lot 1439) for €30,000, the same amount paid by Timmy Hillman for Ardreigh Stud’s Zebedee brother to three winners (Lot 1536).
