Lot 145, a half-brother
to the fabulous and ill-fated FAYONAGH made the headlines today at the Derby
Sale selling for €195,000. The son of Milan consigned by Castledillon Stud was
knocked down to Aidan O’Ryan and Gordon Elliott.

Agents Mags O’Toole
and Tom Malone teamed up to purchase lot 79 from the fabulous Carrigeen family
by Walk In The Park, who is a half-sister to Irish Grand National winner ROGUE
ANGEL. The filly consigned by Liss House was knocked down for €110,000.

Lot 92 caught the
attention of Highflyer Bloodstock when they secured the Authorized gelding for €105,000.
Consigned by Moanmore Stables, the three-year-old is out of Cocopalm, herself a
three-time winner and dam of five-time winner Blue Haways.

Lot 205 boasts a
wonderful pedigree from the Parkhill family of MORLEY STREET and GRANVILLE
AGAIN. The Flemensfirth gelding, consigned by Martin Cullinane’s Mount Brown
Farm and out of Iconic Mystery sells for €100,000 to Jimmy Mangan.
