Christmas came early for connections of Irish point-to-pointer Classic Getaway who equalled the highest price paid for a pointer at public auction when he was knocked down for £570,000 at today’s (17 December) Goffs UK Yorton Sale.
The price is a headline in itself, but the result is made even more spectacular by the fact that the sale marks a £500,000+ profit on an 18-month turnaround for Monbeg, who bought the son of Getaway for £65,000 from breeder Ballincurrig House Stud at the 2019 Goffs UK Spring Store Sale.

Blue was the colour of choice for buyers on the opening day of the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale, which belatedly but happily began on Saturday.
Blue Bresil, who will shortly start his second season at Rathbarry Stud, had just two representatives on the opening day but both created a bidding frenzy.
For the second successive year, John Dwan sold the yearling session-topper with his family’s Ballyreddin Stud consigning the Blue Bresil gelding who made €80,000.
Lot 32 is the third foal out of the Flemensfirth mare Wild Blueberry, and the irresistible combination of sires with the imposing gelding in the ring prompted bids from around the ring and outside.
