Former Ireland striker Kevin Doyle buys half-brother to winning machine Altior

Former Ireland striker Kevin Doyle flashed the cash at Tattersalls today, shelling out €155,000 to buy a half-brother to winning machine Altior.

Doyle's big purchase will have his work cut to emulate his sibling, a horse unbeaten in his last 19 races, but the fact his sire is none other than dual Derby winner Camelot bodes well for his prospects.
