IT appears that Ronnie Boland’s Piercetown Stud has committed to selling the Footstepsinthesand (Giant’s Causeway) half-sister to Even So at this year’s Orby Sale. Ronnie purchased the filly for just €22,000 last year at the same venue from breeder David Ryan, using the services of Railstown Stud as consignors.

At the time Even So, a daughter of the dual 2012 Derby winner Camelot (Montjeu), had won her maiden, bringing to seven the number of winners produced by Breeze Hill (Danehill) from her first 10 foals, all of which raced. Breeze Hill was trained by David Wachman for Robert Sangster and was a moderate runner, being well beaten on all her starts but managing to finish fourth twice in Ireland. She then sold for 150,000gns to Paul Moroney and, as a four-year-old, gained a winning bracket in New Zealand.
