TRENDS at the upcoming Land Rover and Derby Sales could be a little different this year. These will be the first summer store sales since Michael O’Leary announced his Gigginstown House Stud operation will be downscaling and with many projecting the point-to-point influence could be decreased this season due to the effects of Covid-19 on that part of the industry, perhaps there is an opportunity there.

Oran Crean, who runs the successful Winning Ways syndicate, will be attending the upcoming Land Rover and Derby Sales, on the lookout for the latest horse he will syndicate out to around 10-15 people, who will be full share owners.
