MATTHEW McBreen’s chesnut colt by Kafka VD Heffinck (Lot 23), became the top lot of this year’s Cavan Elite Foal Auction, when he sold to the Ohio-based Freestyling Farms for €48,000. Out of Jumeirah by Ard VDL Douglas, the foal is a sibling to several top-level performers, including the Nicole Pavitt-ridden Thomascourt Atlantis (1.60m), Thomascourt Emirates (1.50m) and Anna Duff’s MC Crosskeys (1.50m).
