NOT long home from Lanaken where elder son Kian finished 11th in the seven-year-old final on Helssinki, Carl Dore headed to Cavan, where he bought two Irish Sport Horse colts in the premier foals section of Wednesday’s youngstock sale. The Stoneville Stables owner gave the session’s highest price (€9,100) for Lot 71. This Balou du Rouet chesnut was bred in Co Louth by Cliodhna Breen, who jumped his dam, Eurgita, to 1.20m level. A 2009 daughter of Cantos, Eurgita is a half-sister to the Labor’s VDL Indorado mare Argita (1.45m) from the family of Dargita Z (CSIO5* 1.45m, second CSI4* 1.50m) and Ike (1.50m).
