TIMING is everything so Lisbane Park’s win at Exeter last Friday could not have been more opportune for Eric Pele, son Leo and daughter Harriet who were selling the four-year-old’s half-sister as Lot 655 in Wednesday’s foal section of Tattersalls Ireland’s November National Hunt Sale.

The May-foaled filly by Jukebox Jury, already named Lisbane Elvene, and the Exeter winner, a son of Walk In The Park, are out of the Footstepsinthesand mare Loussia who won seven races in her native France where she was also Listed-placed. Lisbane Park is her fourth foal, the first being the 2016 Montmartre mare De Novo who has been placed over jumps in France.
