A lot has happened in the last two and a half years.

It was November 2019 that Kevin Doyle secured the much sought-after Lot 560 at the Tattersalls November National Hunt Sale, a Camelot colt and half-brother to Altior. In a tense bidding battle, the hammer eventually dropped at a sale-topping €155,000 and the foal headed back to Slaney River Stud that evening.
