COOLEY Farm’s Richard Sheane bought four lots at the Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale in the Amber Springs Hotel on Tuesday night when his quartet of purchases included the top-priced older horse, Brian Flynn and Meabh Bolger’s MBF Flash Back.

Bidding on Lot 15 opened at €10,000 and the four-year-old gelding, a son of the Dutch Warmblood stallion Quidam Junior I, came on the market at €35,000. Sheane had the final say at €40,000, the price which was first asked for the chesnut who was bred in Co Laois by Helena Kirwan out of the traditionally-bred Diamond Imp Lad mare, Midlands Rosie.
