Quality Mare In Foal To Crystal Ocean Fetches Six Figures

Graded performer Moskovite (Flemensfirth) further rewarded owner/breeder Robert Hennelly on Monday, when fetching €160,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland November NH Sale.

Offered by Denis Hogan’s Boherna Stables as a wildcard entry, the daughter of Flemensfirth boasted a cover to popular new sire Crystal Ocean and it was his new base The Beeches Stud that struck the winning bid.

Graded-placed over hurdles and fences, Moskovite also appeals on pedigree as a half-sister to three-time Graded winner Moyhenna (Westerner), out of accomplished chaser Moskova (Montjeu). Younger siblings who could provide future updates include a two-year-old son of Westerner and a yearling filly by Kingston Hill.
