Flemensfirth Colt Tops Select NH Foal Sale At Goffs The introduction of a day dedicated to select foals proved a phenomenal success at Goffs December National Hunt Sale on Tuesday.

Consigned by Ballincurrig House Stud, the colt was bought by John O'Byrne for ?75,000. Gleann Connor Stud later paid ?65,000 for a good looking son of King's Theatre out of a half sister to Ottowa and Calling Brave, sold by Yellowford Farm, while Kilbarry Lodge Stud's Classic Cliche half brother to six time winner Racing Demon (Lot 474) entered the ring late in the evening and realised ?50,000 when knocked down to Martinstown Stud.
