I like the sire and I just thought he was the best foal on the day – it was plenty of money for him.”Hogan added, “He's out of a black-type Sea The Stars mare who has bred two good horses. She is still a young mare. I knew he was going to cost….but not that much!“When you see a horse that you like, you just want to buy it. I have bought between 12 and 14 this year.”The turnover for the Sapphire Sale almost doubled [up 93%] to €609,200 for 62 lots sold at a clearance rate of just 60%.
