A €120,000 son of Showcasing, who was among three six-figure transactions, led the way on the opening session of today’s Goffs February Sale which mirrored the trends that were in evidence in the foal market towards the end of 2018.

As expected the market was a selective one during a session devoted exclusively to yearlings as pinhookers looked to compliment what they had bought in November and December. However, there was no shortage of demand for the better lots and this meant that the figures for the yearling section of the sale were quite similar to 12 months ago.
