Thursday’s catalogue ranges from foals to three-year-olds and features the Premier Foal section (Lots 40-64), where one of the standouts is Lot 50. A bay colt by Kafka VD Heffinck, the sale-topping sire at the aforementioned foal auction, he is out of a mare herself proven in international sport.
Other Lots of interest include two well-related colt foals consigned by Patrick Connolly, Lots 37 and 89, as well as Lot 26 - a filly foal by My Way from a dam line featuring both four-star event horses and an Olympic show jumper, this foal is a half-sibling to Ballsallagh Agapeic, one of the top lots at this sale last year.
Friday’s Irish Draught catalogue features everything from foals to broodmares and approved stallions. A standout among the latter is undoubtedly Seans Supremacy, who was awarded Class 1 status at this year’s stallion inspections and is by the legendary Moylough Supremacy.
