FOLLOWING Wednesday’s blockbuster session, Thursday saw a much tamer day of trade at the Goffs November Foal Sale as the quality of animal on offer was more in line with those sold on the first two days of trading.

The clearance rate dropped to 73% but that was a lot better than on this day last year when only 60% of foals found buyers. Thursday’s median price of €14,000 was markedly up on the figure of €11,000 recorded last year.
