TUESDAY’S second session of Book 2 made the sort of start any auctioneering house dreams about.

The first lot into the ring was a daughter of Night Of Thunder, off to a winning start at stud, and she continued the fine sales season being enjoyed by Eugene Daly’s Longview Stud in Cheshire. In Book 1 last week the farm received 1,100,000gns for a son of Dubawi.
