THURSDAY’s sale of youngstock at Cavan saw figures dip from those of 12 months ago to reveal that 42% (60%) changed hands at an average of €2,394 (€2,521).

Several did stand out however, and among them was Hazel Bye’s bay colt foal by Cormint out of Coevers Silver Lady by Coevers Diamond Boy. Selling for the day’s best return at €6,100, this attractive sort was secured by Co Carlow pinhooker Pat Fenlon of Brandon View Stud in Co Wexford.
