IRISH foal records were smashed for the second time in the space of a month when Greg Broderick’s well related filly by Luidam realised a breathtaking €35,000 at Goresbridge last weekend. Spearheading an otherwise tricky market, the show jumping-bred filly delivered one of two five-figure returns and is now the highest priced foal in Irish sport horse auction history. Her sale was a personal success not just for Broderick, who also consigned another filly at €17,000, but for the whole team responsible for the breeding programme at the Ballypatrick Stud.
