A FINAL session that produced by far the highest price of the week, which came when Ballylinch Stud forked out €280,000 for Jim Bolger’s Glamorous Approach, enabled the Goffs February Sale to conclude with a set of results that gained ground in several key areas.

At the conclusion of the three-day sale the turnover for the smaller catalogue dropped by seven points to €4.8 million. However, the €14,414 average and the €6,500 median grew by 11% and 18% respectively and the clearance rate progressed slightly to 66%.
