TUESDAY'S three six-figure foals were topped on Wednesday when a colt foal by Authorized sold for €170,000 - the highest price paid for a foal at this sale since 2007.

The grey foal was bred by Louis Vambeck from Co Westmeath and sold on his behalf by John Dwan's Ballyreddin Stud. The buyer was Ger O'Neill's Capital Stud in Co Kilkenny, home to Authorized. O'Neill is an accomplished show jumper and was represented at the sale by Darragh McCarthy, alongside show jumper Michael Duffy.
