FIVE horses made €50,000 or more at Wednesday’s Go For Gold Sale in the Amber Springs Hotel. Four were consigned by regular vendors at Goresbridge Horse Sales’ flagship auction while the other was sold by Co Galway first-timer Ralph Conroy through R.C. Equine Ltd.

Carrying the prefix of Conroy’s Milchem Equestrian Centre near Tynagh, Milchem Giovanni (Lot 13) was one of the talking horses before the sale and little wonder as the four-year-old Tyson chesnut was successfully produced this season on the young event horse scene by Conroy and his stable jockey Jason Doerflinger.
