Clipper Logistics to Hold National Hunt Dispersal at Doncaster

The Goffs Spring HIT/PTP Sale, set to be held May 22-23 at Doncaster, will feature a dispersal of five National Hunt horses owned by Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics, the operation that has enjoyed Grade 1 success over jumps with the likes of Morning Assembly (Ire) (Shantou) and Draconien (Fr) (Linda's Lad {GB}).

The five horses include the Henry de Bromhead-trained Mossy Fen Park (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}), who was last seen filling the runner-up spot in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse, finishing three places ahead of Pat Fahy's Champane Admiral (Ire) (Mount Nelson {GB}) who is also set to be sold.

The dispersal is completed by Western Diego (Ire) (Westerner {GB}) and Sporting Glory (Ire) (Fame And Glory {GB}), who finished third and fourth, respectively, in another Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse's Easter Festival last time, plus Special Cadeau (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), runner-up in a Naas maiden hurdle on his most recent outing for Willie Mullins.

The annual Million In Mind dispersal also promises to be a highlight of the Spring Sale, which typically features a bumper offering of National Hunt horses-in-training and point-to-point graduates.

Entries are being taken until Friday, April 26, with the catalogue available online from Friday, May 3.

Stewart’s Resolute Racing Buys Into Pegasus F&M Turf Winner Didia

John Stewart's Resolute Racing has purchased this year's GII Pegasus Filly and Mare Turf Invitational S. winner Didia (Arg) (Orpen), he told the TDN in a text message. He will race her in partnership with her owners, John Moores's and Charles Noell's Merriebelle Stable.

Didia is entered in this Saturday's GI Jenny Wiley S. at Keeneland.

“I have a ranking system I use and she was at the top,” said Stewart. “I have been trying to buy her for four months. The agreement is for me to buy her. I pay half now and half when she retires and we race her together from this weekend at Keeneland.”

Didia, also the winner of the GII Rodeo Drive S. at Santa Anita and the GIII Modesty S. at Churchill, was also second in the GI New York S. at Belmont Park.

In her native Argentina, the now six-year-old was a two-time Group 1 winner. She arrived in the U.S. in 2022, and won six of eight starts since that time, bringing her lifetime record to 10 of 15 lifetime starts. She has earned just over $1 million.
