Head and shoulders above his compatriots during the Goffs UK August Sale on Wednesday, Third Time Lucki (Ire) (Arcadio {Ger}) (lot 85) brought a sale-topping £190,000 from Fergal O'Brien.

The dual Grade 2-winning chaser was offered by the Jamie Railton Sales Agency and was part of the Mike Newbould Dispersal.

Two other members of the dispersal featured among the top lots, with the unraced 4-year-old Lathan (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}) (lot 18) bringing £60,000 on the bid of J P McGrath Bloodstock; and lot 46, Goonhilly (Ire) (Mount Nelson {GB}), was knocked down to Dan Skelton Racing for £40,000.

Peter Niven bought Quintus Arrius (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) (lot 36) for £50,000 from Kevin Ryan's Hambleton Lodge Stables, to round out the top four lots.

Of the 126 offered, 105 sold (83%) for a gross of £1,247,100. The average was £11,878 and the median was £5,500.

Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent said, “Today has been another successful day at Doncaster and we would like to extend a special thank you to Mike and Eileen Newbould for their support in sending their partial dispersal to this sale. Third Time Lucki came into the sale as the highest rated chaser offered anywhere this year and it was very rewarding to see him sell so well.

“Today marks the start of a busy month for the Goffs team as we hold our £300,000 Harry Beeby Premier Yearling S. at York's Ebor Festival and our Premier Yearling Sale at the end of the month. We look forward to seeing everyone on the racecourse, and at Doncaster, over the coming weeks.”

Miss Heritage On Top Of Goffs UK August Sale

Miss Heritage (Ire) (Pour Moi {Ire}) (lot 166), a Grade 2 winner over jumps, brought a sale-topping £78,000 on the bid of Richard Venn Bloodstock and Simon Davies's DahlBury at the Goffs UK August Sale on Wednesday. Consigned by WH Bloodstock, the bay landed the G2 Yorkshire Rose Mares' Hurdle at Doncaster in January and is in foal to Newsells Park Stud's Nathaniel (Ire), the sire of this year's G1 Cazoo Derby hero Desert Crown (GB).

The debut winning pointer Townhill (Ire) (Presenting {GB}) (lot 101) was knocked down to Ed Bailey for £60,000; while lot 111, the winning pointer Tara Line (Ire) (Kayf Tara {GB}), made £50,000 from Syd Hosie and Gay Kelleway. Loughanmore Farms and Cobajay Stables consigned the duo, respectively.

At the end of the sale, 169 lots had sold from 232 offered (73%) for an aggregate of £1,602,600. The average was just marginally down at £9,483 and the median came in at £6,000.

Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent said, “The August Sale offers something for all NH owners, trainers, breeders and pinhookers and we introduced two new sessions to enhance it in 2022. The small selection of NH mares was well received by the market and were likely bought to support the many new NH stallions available in the UK. The new 2-year-old session, which was introduced to support the new BHA/TBA junior hurdle series, is a concept which we believe will grow as the new series develops over the coming seasons.”

Yearling Session Closes Goffs UK August Sale

The two-day Goffs UK August Sale came to a close on Thursday with the sale's traditional store session being joined by a section of yearlings that were intended to be sold at the firm's January Sale that was delayed by Covid. It was a yearling colt by Blue Bresil (Fr) (lot 366) that led trade on Thursday, the grandson of the Grade 1-winning hurdler Lady Rebecca (GB) (Rolfe) knocked down to R.B.S. Ltd for £44,000. Another Blue Bresil yearling colt (lot 389) was picked up by Pine Tree for £42,000, and that price was also achieved by a 3-year-old daughter of Authorized (Ire) (lot 261), who was bought by Highflyer Bloodstock.

Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent said, “Today has capped off a good two days of selling and it's great to see a successful NH yearling session following all the issues we faced earlier in the year. We made the decision to hold the sale on the revised date after consultation with the UK breeders who had to hold onto these horses for a lot longer than planned, so we are very grateful that everyone has been so accommodating and helped to make today such a huge success.

“A big positive for everyone has been the ability to host a sale with limited COVID restrictions which is something that we have all been looking forward to for some time. The sale also hosted the Goffs UK sponsored TBA NH Breeders' Awards last night, which was moved from its traditional May date, again due to COVID restrictions, and to be able to celebrate that with the largest audience in the event's history was superb. The two-days have certainly felt far more 'normal' and bodes well for our Premier and Silver Yearling Sales which are now just under three weeks away.”
