A €70,000 colt by Robin Des Champs became the highest priced foal to come under the hammer this week as he emerged as the star turn of what was a strong day’s trade at the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale, which made sweeping gains in key areas.

The penultimate day of foals at the sale offered buyers a chance to snap up some very well-bred sons of Robin Des Champs and among these was the Hillview Stud-consigned session topper.
