THERE was a clearance rate of 75% at the performance sale in Cavan on Wednesday when the top price of €8,200 was paid by Laura Geraghty for Kathlyn Lynch’s Annagh Golden Dun, a six-year-old gelding with no recorded pedigree but with 78 Showjumping Ireland points.

The 148cms dun (Lot 126), who was hunted for two seasons with the Duhallow Foxhounds and has been schooled over cross-country fences, is described by his Co Cork vendor as having “a really athletic jump”.
