A successful sale and what a year, Frankenstorm was sold to Zara Phillips for 11,000 and Gunner Road was also bought by Zara Phillips for 15,000, both horses will give her some fun next winter between the flags. Virtuoso Rouge is heading back over to Ireland and will race in the Gigginstown colours having been bought for 90,000 by Mags O'Toole. I have no doubt in my mind he will go on and win races for them, he's a frame of a horse, the fact he had to go to war twice as a 4 year old is testament to his ability.
It has been a fantastic year and I have no idea how we will manage it again, one thing is for sure we'll give it our best shot. I couldn't do it without the staff and they deserve as much credit as anyone for the successful year. Goffs in a fortnight and the wheel starts to turn again.
