Dick O’Gorman and the Darley team had seen him on the farm and liked how he had progressed and he came here this week and showed himself off very well. He’s by a great sire out of a great racemare and fingers crossed that we have a racehorse on our hands,” declared Ferguson.

The aggregate of almost €26m was down by six per cent, while the €31,950 average fell by 14 Henry Beeby puts the hammer down at €1,100,000 for the points. Furthermore, the median dropped from €22,000 to Dubawi colt out of the Classic winner Nightime (Galileo). €18,000 and the clearance rate fell by eight points to 77 per cent.
