One of the youngest in the catalogue, Solway View Sassy,

her.
Seamus Branniff paid 7000gns to take Solway View Rachel

from the Bedgebury Kent-sired Solway View Netty, she also
heads across the water but this time with Dereck McKinney,
Letterkenny, County Donegal.

was further entries from the same stable that secured the majority of the top female prices including the next
