I WONDER how long it would take to turn an €8,500 bank deposit into €75,000. You would not live long enough to see it happen.

Well, Eoin Banville, Ken Bolger and Peter Parkhill invested well when they spent €8,500 at Goffs in November 2019 on the first foal out of the dual winner Bittern (New Approach). This was a Tinnakill House-bred daughter of Farhh (Pivotal). While Plan A was obviously to turn a quick profit, the trio retained her for £20,000 as a yearling, and that proved to be a wise move.
