PEMBROOK Knockroe, a black filly consigned by Kilmashogue Stud, topped Thursday night’s Elite Foal Sale in Cavan when knocked down for €22,000 to Olive Clarke who was acting on behalf of Freestyling Farms in Ohio, USA.

Standing at the back wall, the Loughrea show jumper and young horse producer saw off rivals both at the sale and on phones to the Cavan personnel on the rostrum to secure Lot 4, a late May foaled daughter of Diamant de Semilly and the Guidam mare, MHS Pembrook Lady.
