CLOSING the three-day renewal on high note, the final sessions at Goresbridge last Friday delivered a €29,000 sale topper together with a further raft of five figure returns.

The strong trade for four-year-olds and, to a lesser extent, three-year-olds boosted the turnover to just short of €2 million (€1,978,800), while the overall clearance closed at 75% (72% in 2024) leading to a significantly increased average of €6,685 (€5,755).
