Lot 145, a half-brother to the fabulous and ill-fated FAYONAGH made the headlines today at the Derby Sale selling for €195,000. The son of Milan consigned by Castledillon Stud was knocked down to Aidan O’Ryan and Gordon Elliott.

Lot 92 caught the attention of Highflyer Bloodstock when they secured the Authorized gelding for €105,000. Consigned by Moanmore Stables, the three-year-old is out of Cocopalm, herself a three-time winner and dam of five-time winner Blue Haways.
Lot 205 boasts a wonderful pedigree from the Parkhill family of MORLEY STREET and GRANVILLE AGAIN. The Flemensfirth gelding, consigned by Martin Cullinane’s Mount Brown Farm and out of Iconic Mystery sells for €100,000 to Jimmy Mangan.
