A COLT from the first crop of star miler Mohaather shared top honours on the opening day of the Tattersalls December Foal Sale when purchased by Joe Foley of Ballyhane Stud for 80,000gns.

“He looks a weapon," said Foley. "He looks a lot like his grandsire Showcasing and is a really good example. He is a lovely colt and the mother was good. She was rated 90 and was useful. We bought a Ribchester filly from the same family here in October. I underbid Mohaather as a yearling - he was a really high class racehorse and we were very keen to buy one by him."
