HATS off to Tara Stud’s Alhebayeb (Dark Angel). In a couple of days he sired listed winning two-year-olds Abama in France and Aurelius In Love in Italy, while his juvenile daughter Lustown Baba captured the valuable Foran Equine Irish EBF Auction Race Final at Naas, worth some €72,000 to the winner.

Through the ring at the Goffs Sportsmans Sale last year when sold to trainer Willie McCreery for €12,000, the Laurence and Carla Sheedy-bred Lustown Baba is the sixth winner out of the listed-placed two-year-old Dancing Duchess (Danehill Dancer).
