Performance Sale: 10am
Last year’s top lot: Joanna Kunc’s Marvellous Vivant, six-year-old gelding by Vivant Van De Heffinck €17,500.
TWELVE months ago, this renewal recorded some of the best returns from the venue all year, and connections will be hoping for more of the same. Although the catalogue is smaller this time around, the content is strong, both in the pony and horse divisions. Among the lots forward are competition stock with solid jumping and eventing form, while also standing out are a selection of well-related mares with blacktype pedigrees.
The list of covering sires is varied, but leading the way with three progeny apiece are the KWPN-registered sire Kaiden Leva WD and the ever-popular Sligo Candy Boy. Also featuring are Conticco, Lagans OBOS Quality, Master Rivie, Silver Jumper and Vivant Van De Heffinck, all of which have two lots forward.
