Ash burns off rivals to make top price at sales

LEFANTA ASH was the star turn at yesterday's Curraheen Park sales.

The black son of Judicial Post, owned by John Geoghegan of Cappoquin, was an impressive fourteen lengths winner of his pre-sales trial in 28.91. Following some lively bidding, he was eventually knocked down to Brough Park trainer Jim Fenwick for €8,500.

College Gourmet, the property of Frank Cullothy from Killarney, Co. Kerry, an easy winner of a race over the circuit last week, secured the next best price when local agent Michael A. Walsh went to €3,500 to get the brindle. He had won his pre-sales trial in 29.05 and will now go to race in Barcelona.
