HAVING topped the store section of the Goffs UK Spring Sale last year at £140,000 for a son of Kayf Tara, Michael Moore’s Ballincurrig House Stud had to share the honours on Tuesday when Ross Doyle and Colin Tizzard combined to pay £105,000 for a three-year-old son of Getaway.

The half-brother to the Scottish Grand National winner Joe Farrell is by the hugely exciting Getaway and Moore sold him on behalf of William Bryan and partners who paid €28,000 for him as a foal. Doyle has enjoyed great success buying for Tizzard, last season’s Grade 1 winners Lostintranslation and Reserve Tank advertising the potency of the partnership.
