THE phenomenal price of £480,000 achieved for Loughanmore Farms’ Flemenshill at Tattersalls Ireland’s re-scheduled January Sale in Cheltenham last Thursday was welcomed by more than just Wilson Dennison and Colin McKeever, owner and trainer of the Flemensfirth bay when he landed the four-year-old maiden at Oldtown earlier this month.

The point-to-point was staged by the Ward Union Hunt who, with Coolmore Stud (home of the sire), were quick to post news of the sale on their Facebook page.
