IT was all about Frankel on Sunday, the final day of the Goffs November Foal Sale, when the sire with global appeal supplied a trio of €440,000 lots who headed by far the strongest session of the week although this wasn’t enough to prevent the figures from falling off those from last year.

A much smaller catalogue for this year’s sale was hit by a number of high profile withdrawals which would certainly have played their part in helping the sale’s figures while demand through the first two days was at time quite selective.
