A pair of geldings by No Risk At All (Fr) and Doctor Dino (Fr) were joint toppers at €160,000 during Tuesday's Goffs Arkle Sale Part 1.
The former (lot 138), consigned by Liss House, was purchased by Ian Ferguson and is from the family of Grade 2 winner Violin Davis (Fr) (Turgeon). Lot 222, part of the Sluggara Farm draft, went to Gordon Elliott Racing and is a half-brother to listed winner Syrita (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}).
Four other stores made €150,000 or higher, with lot 91, a gelding by Tunis (Pol), sold to Tom Malone and Paul Nicholls at €155,000 when sent through the ring by Brown Island Stables.
A trio of lots were knocked down for €150,000–a son of Doctor Dino (Fr) from Sluggara Farm (lot 100) sold to Kevin Ross Bloodstock, Mags O'Toole picked up a son of Diamond Boy (Fr) (lot 12) from Brook Lodge Farm, and Malone and Nicholls were in action again for Oak Tree Farm's lot 170, a No Risk At All gelding.
Overall, 177 sold from 218 offered (81%) for a gross of €9,073,000. The average was down 3% to €51,260 and the median dropped 10% to €45,000.
