Helenas Soldier tops Curraheen sale at €3,300

OXFORD trainer Terry Kibble and Swift Leisure were both very active at the Curraheen Park sales earlier this week, picking up some choice lots.

Kibble paid the top price of €3,300 to secure Helenas Soldier. James Lynch's (Tralee) fawn streaked around the circuit in his pre-sales trial to win by nine lengths in 28.80.

Kibble also secured Family Princess, jointly owned by Berkie Browne and Michael Shine from Listowel for €1,800. The blue and white had carded 28.88 when winning her trial by a length.
