G1SW Logician Returns in Rescheduled Cumberland Lodge

Juddmonte’s undefeated 2019 G1 St Leger winner Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will step forward in the Oct. 9 G3 Cumberland Lodge S. at York. Originally slated for Oct. 3, the Cumberland Lodge was part of Ascot’s cancelled card. The John Gosden trainee already sports a win over the course in the G2 Great Voltigeur S., and he was last in action in a Sept. 10 conditions race at Doncaster. Over the winter and for most of 2020, he had been recovering from a life-threatening infection.

“I hope he’ll be going to York,” confirmed Prince Abdullah’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe. “We obviously wanted to run at Ascot and now the race has been rescheduled, that remains the plan. He’s in good form.”

Goffs on Track to Host Rest of 2020 Sales at Kildare

The trio of remaining sales at Goffs in 2020-the Autumn Sale (Nov. 4-5), November Sale (Nov. 15-22) and December National Hunt Sale (Dec. 9-10)-are all on schedule to remain at Kildare Paddocks in Ireland, the sales company announced on Tuesday. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen several sales move to the Goffs UK complex at Doncaster, including the Orby Sale held at the end of last month. Ireland returned to level three restrictions due to an increase in coronavirus cases on Monday.

“Goffs’ purpose is to provide the best marketplace for Irish breeders, in Ireland, and I wish to reassure vendors and buyers that our commitment to creating the best possible conditions for successful sales remains as strong as ever whilst we prioritise the safety and well-being of all clients and staff,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby in a statement. “Our remaining three sales this year traditionally attract a strong mix of Irish and overseas buyers to Kildare Paddocks.

“I wish to also take this opportunity to thank every Goffs vendor and buyer for their continued support as, together with the entire bloodstock industry, we react and adapt to the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Rest assured that the Goffs team is doing everything in our power to act in the best interests of our valued clients and maximise the opportunities for your horses so that we repay the trust every vendor places in us with each entry.”

Goffs UK Autumn Sale Catalogue Released

The one-day Goffs UK Autumn Sale catalogue is now online. Set to begin at 10 a.m. at Doncaster on Oct. 22, the sale will be split into three portions: the Autumn Horses-in-Training Sale (lots 1-195), the Silver Yearling Sale (lots 196-254) and finally the Autumn Yearling Sale (lots 255-308). Jumpers primarily feature in the Autumn Horses-in-Training Sale, but there are a few Flat performers sprinkled in like the 89-rated two-time winner Confide (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) (lot 49) from Lodge Farm Stud. The Silver and Autumn Yearling Sales offer 113 yearlings between them by the likes of Bated Breath (GB), Belardo (Ire), Due Diligence, Havana Gold (Ire), Pride of Dubai (Aus) and Twilight Son (GB) to name a few.

“This year hosts a different format compared to the traditional Autumn Sale with a notable addition, the Silver Yearling Sale, and a significant absence in the full Point-to-Point/Form Horse Session,” said Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent. “The inclusion of the Silver Sale will give buyers access to more commercial yearlings and both yearling sales have proven their ability to produce Group 1 horses with the likes of Quiet Reflection and Mabs Cross coming from their ranks.

“The shifting of the sale’s Point-to-Point/Form Horse Session away from this date, to a stand alone sale two weeks later on Friday, 6, Nov., means we can offer point-to-point handlers and buyers a dedicated P2P Sale. That being said, this sale has some smart performers catalogued and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Doncaster in just over two weeks.”
