UNFORTUNATELY, there isn’t space to mention all those owners who have just one horse entered in the Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale (November 9th to 11th), but four lots deserve special mention.

The first of these is Tom Quigley’s ESI Mona Lisa (Lot 6), one of two mares in the catalogue bred by Ennisnag Stud and registered with the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland. The five-year-old chesnut by Hos D’O is out of the Simba mare ESI Sofia, dam previously of the Dakar VDL gelding ESI Nixon (CCI4*-S) and the Vigo d’Arsouilles mare ESI Rio (1.40m). ESI Sofia is a half-sister to the Heartbreaker mare Arabella, dam of last week’s Pau CCI5*-L runner-up, Its Cooley Time.
