ACCOMPANIED by one of the strongest catalogues in recent years, next week’s three-day renewal of foals, yearlings and broodmares at Goresbridge will undoubtedly test the market. Offering a catalogue brimming with well-related individuals, the sale opens on Thursday with a mixed selection of yearlings, foals and broodmares. The following two days are devoted to foals, while Saturday’s session includes a pre-selected sector of 17 show jumping foals. One from this special division recorded the country’s best return of €35,000 in 2017, and, carrying the best of performance pedigrees, these lots hail from some of Ireland and Europe’s best-known blacktype families.
