Goffs UK Summer Sale | Horse Racing Free Tips

Two 3-year-old gelding stores, by Diamond Boy (Fr) and Soldier of Fortune (Ire), respectively, both brought £80,000 in consecutive lots to top the Goffs UK Summer Sale at Doncaster on Tuesday. Lot 25, named Boy Adely (Fr) and consigned by Lakefield Farm, was snapped up by Twiston-Davies Equine to briefly hold sole topper honours. His dam is a Bering (GB) half-sister to MGSP hurdler Monsieur Lecoq (Fr) (Diamond Boy {Fr}).

The next lot in the ring, lot 26, from Ballincurrig House Stud, equaled that price on the bid of Shaun Brookhouse. A grandson of the listed hurdler Afarka (Ire) (Flemensfirth), the bay is out of a half-sister to Grade 2 hurdle winner Younevercall (Ire) (Yeats {Ire}).

A filly consigned by Battlefield Stud and purchased by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock was both the priciest of her sex and the second dearest lot overall at £70,000. Lot 35, by Midnight Legend (GB) and out of the listed hurdle winner Annie’s Answer (Ire) (Flemensfirth) is from the same family as fellow listed jumps winners Basilea (Ire) (Strong Gale {Ire}) and Grand Slam Hero (Ire) (Anshan {GB}).

After Monday’s Supplementary Store session, Tuesday’s Spring Store session grossed £3,535,000 for 145 sold from 192 offered (75.5%). The average settled at £24,379 and the median was £20,000.

The sale concludes with a session of stores, horses-in-training and point-to-pointers beginning at 10 a.m.
