JASON Higgins had a busy but rewarding couple of days at Barnadown where he and Alice Martin-Jones sold the top-priced lot at the 11th Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale on Tuesday, the four-year-old grey filly ‘Jackie’.

Bidding on the much-touted sales-topper, who was catalogued as Lot 18, opened at €10,000 and quickly reached €36,000 at which stage she was put on the market. Again, there was little delay before locally based John Ellard, acting on behalf of an English client, had the final bid at €50,000, a result which garnered a round of applause.
