A total of 149 lots, including dispersals from Irish point-to-point trainer Ellmarie Holden and from Whitewall Stables, were catalogued for the Goffs January Sale at Doncaster on Jan. 23. Featuring 81 NH weanlings, 20 NH mares and 48 horses-in-training, yearlings and 2-year-olds, the sale will begin at 10 a.m.
Some of the lots on offer are lot 84, a Nathaniel (Ire) half-brother to Grade 1 winner Athena Du Berlais (Fr) (Martaline {GB}); a son of that Newsells Park Stud-based sire and the Grade 1 winner Black Tears (GB) (Jeremy) (lot 92); debut pointer winner Frisby (Ire) (Flemensfirth) (lot 34) from Holden's draft; and lot 158, the two-time winner Lime Avenue (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}), who is a half-sister to G1 Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel (Ire) (Presenting {GB}).
Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “It was with great satisfaction that we launched the inaugural British NH Breeders Showcase for NH foals in November last year and it was always our goal to ensure we kept a high standard of entries at this sale's long serving NH weanling session–thus providing two vibrant outlets for the category.
“So, to see us catalogue 81 NH weanlings, which feature some outstanding pedigrees and sires, is a great result for the sale and we once again applaud breeders for sending their best to Doncaster. The sale will also host the TBA's NH Stallion Showcase, which will see 12 UK NH sires on show at Doncaster during the sale, providing an extra reason that the January Sale is one not to be missed.”
