A son of Fast Company from Rathasker Stud topped the opening day of the Goffs November Foal Sale when selling to Francis Killen for €42,000.
The colt (Lot 154 – pictured) is a half-brother to the two year old filly Zelaniya, the dam’s first runner, who won second time out for Dermot Weld and His Highness The Aga Khan at Gowran Park last month.
Willie Browne’s Grangebarry accounted for the next highest priced Lot on Day 1 when going to €38,000 for a son of Dandy Man (Lot 132) consigned by Hill Head, while another popular Dandy Man foal was Darnstown Stud’s filly (Lot 191), a half-sister to a Stakes placed filly, that was knocked down to Tally Ho Stud at €31,000.
The five day November Foal Sale continues tomorrow with trade getting underway at 10am. The foal sale will be followed on Friday and Saturday with the November Breeding Stock Sale.
