THE 2016 sale season at Goresbridge draws to a close next week, when Friday’s one-day performance sale precedes Saturday’s regular monthly fixture. The entries for this renewal are well up from last year, and focus mainly on the ridden sector. In keeping with the season, there is a strong emphasis on proven hunters, while a large number of well-bred three and four-year-olds also catch the eye. Among these are close maternal relations to the former Goresbridge graduate Calover (1.60m), the Olympic event horse Master Crusoe and the recent Millstreet CCI*** victor Dunlough Striker.
