COMPLETING a busy few weeks at the centre, Cavan hosts a one-performance sale next Wednesday. The catalogue, which is similar in size to that of 12 months ago, kicks off as usual with a selection of ponies, but is spearheaded by a sizeable group of older horses. The action continues with a smaller number of four-year-olds followed by an interesting collection of pedigrees in the three-year-old ranks.

The list of covering sires is dominated by Padraig Howley’s popular Sligo Candy Boy (12), while also standing out are Creevagh Ferro (4), Womanizer (3) and Cassino (3).
