Lowry’s luck is in as colt’s value quadruples at sale

Michael Lowry’s incredible ability to bounce back from misfortune has been underscored by his lucrative association with a bumper horse sale yesterday in France.

A foal he sold for €57,000 in December saw its value quadruple.

This trade immediately set a benchmark for all future horses from a mare Mr Lowry bought at the height of his tax problems in 2007.
