5 Yearlings purchased from Goffs Orby & Sportsman sales

Posted on 30 September 2016

Just back from Goffs yearling sales and delighted to report that I was able to purchaseย 5 yearlings on behalf of clients in what was strong trade for the nice horses.

Theย first purchase was Lot 106 a daughter of first season sire Camelot. This filly is out of the Listed winning Oasis Dream mare La Sylvia who has produced 2 winners from 2 runners to date including the 104-rated Archangel Raphael who is himself by Montjeu the sire of Camelot. The pedigree goes back to the fantastic Shadwell family that includes Champion 3-year-old Al Bahathri who herself produced Champion 3-year-old Haafhd. This filly has a lot of class and is by a very exciting 1st season sire. Cost โ‚ฌ45,000 and will be trained by John Quinn.

Theย second purchase was Lot 176 a daughter of the excellent sire Dark Angel. This filly is the 2nd foal out of the Exceed And Excel mare Muzdaan whose first foal and full brother Parys Mountain was thought highly enough of to run in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot for Charlie Hills. The 2nd dam is the Champion 2-year-old Belle Genius and this filly looks every inch the 2-year-old. Cost โ‚ฌ100,000 and will be trained by John Quinn.

Theย third purchase was Lot 304 (pictured below) a daughter of first season sire Epaulette. Out of the winning 3-year-old Sweet Kristeen who has produced 4 winners from 6 runners including the Listed placed performer Clichรฉ and 2016 winner Al Shahaniya. A scopey, good walking filly she cost โ‚ฌ47,000 and will be trained by John Quinn.

The fourth purchase was Lot 344 (pictured below) a son of proven sire Bahamian Bounty. He is out of the winning 2-year-old Yellow Trumpet who has produced 6 winners from 7 runners including 103-rated and black-type speedster City Of Tribes. This colt looks a real 2-year-old and had plenty of class about him. Cost โ‚ฌ80,000 on behalf of Al Areen Racing and will be trained by Richard Fahey.

Theย fifth and final purchase was made in the Sportsman sale and I think was great, great value. The purchase was Lot 574 (pictured below) a daughter of Lilbourne Lad out of the winning 3-year old Insieme who is dam of 100-rated & Group race entered Goodwood Zodiac. It had trainer William Knight & my name all over it as we purchased one of Lilbourne Lad’s best progeny to date in Southdown Lad and William also trains Goodwood Zodiac. This filly cost just โ‚ฌ6,500 and as previously mentioned will be trained by William Knight.

The yearling sales season now moves onto Newmarket where we have the prestigious Book 1 catalogue next week – horses sell from Tuesday 4th October to Thursday 6th October. This catalogue is full of superbly bred individuals and has the added benefitย that the yearlingsย sold in theย sale are eligible for a number of ยฃ25,000 bonusย maiden & novice racesย so with the Plus 10 bonus as well you could easily find yourself winningย ยฃ35,000-40,000 just for winning a maiden.
