AS ever, there were plenty of whoops of delight in the aftermath of some juicy pinhooking successes this week.

Chief among them was the 410,000gns sale of Yeomanstown Stud’s Sea The Moon colt out of an own-sister to recent Group 1 winner Pearls Galore. He was sourced last year at the December Sale for 110,000gns from Dermot Dwan’s Kellsgrange Stud.
