A NEW foal-buying syndicate, established by well-known Coolmore personnel Gerry Aherne and Tom Gaffney, was busy buying at Goffs this week. The foals will be resold next year and were purchased under Castlehyde Stud.

The new team were especially impressed with the first foals by Most Improved and bought the top lot on the first day, a €39,000 purchase, by the Group 1-winning son of Lawman.
