Tattersalls, Goffs Announce New Policies For Corticosteroids And Bronchodilators

Tattersalls and Goffs are to introduce new restrictions relating to the use of corticosteroids and bronchodilators, including Clenbuterol, for all yearlings, and horses in and out of training including breeze up 2-year-olds, sold at sales conducted by the two sales houses.

The new restrictions will be introduced with effect from the start of the UK and Irish yearling sales season beginning on Sept. 1 with the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale.

The new Conditions of Sale will allow buyers to have post-sale testing for corticosteroids and bronchodilators (Clenbuterol), with a positive test for undeclared use of corticosteroids, or any trace of bronchodilators (Clenbuterol) resulting in the subject horse being returnable to the vendor at the option of the purchaser under the Conditions of Sale.

The new conditions are in addition to long standing restrictions on the use of anabolic steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, as well as the ban on the use of Bisphosphonates introduced in 2019.

In a joint statement, Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony and Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said:

“Both Tattersalls and Goffs are united in maintaining the highest standards of integrity and horse welfare at all of our sales and the new policies relating to the use of corticosteroids and bronchodilators reflect our shared commitment to addressing issues which threaten in any way to undermine confidence in the marketplace.”

Neil Walsh Joins Goffs

Neil Walsh has been appointed to the Goffs bloodstock team and will start in his new position in August. Walsh, who stepped down from his position in Tattersalls Ireland in February, will take up a vendor liaison role and join the inspection panel for all National Hunt and Flat sales, beginning with the November Foal Sale in addition to the December NH Sale.

“Neil is an excellent addition to the dynamic bloodstock and inspection teams at Goffs, and I have no doubt he is a perfect fit, combining experience and knowledge with a hands-on approach that is the hallmark of the modern day Goffs,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby.

Walsh spent 12 years at Tattersalls Ireland as director of bloodstock, inspecting stock for the National Hunt store and point to point sales in Ireland, Cheltenham and Ascot as well as yearlings, foals and breeze up horses for the Flat sales at Fairyhouse and Newmarket. He also served on the International Cataloguing Standards Committee, the ITBA National Hunt Committee and the Drugs Task Force. Walsh previously spent six years in the racing department of Horse Racing Ireland, including four years as a customer relations representative.

“It is with great enthusiasm that I take on this new role and look forward to contributing to the superb reputation of Goffs across their wide portfolio of market leading sales,” added Walsh.

Barney Roy’s German Adventure Yields A Third Group 1 Success

Godolphin’s well-travelled Barney Roy (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}) began this latest European campaign with a third in Royal Ascot’s G1 Prince of Wales’s S. last month and the gelded bay was all heart to claim Sunday’s G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis – Bayerisches Zuchtrennen at Munich. The even-money favourite sported temporary headgear during the preliminaries of the 10-furlong contest and the soothing effect contributed to a smooth passage off the clear leaders in rear for the most part. Making headway in the straight when ridden along with a quarter-mile remaining, he joined the front rank, despite rolling around, entering the final furlong and was driven out to earn a third elite-level success in game fashion. Try as he might, last term’s G1 Deutsches Derby fourth Quest The Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) could not find a way past in the latter stages and was denied by a neck, with Joseph O’Brien-trained G3 Meld S. victor Patrick Sarsfield (Fr) (Australia {GB}) running on well to finish 1 1/4 lengths adrift in third.

“We were a little concerned when the rain came this morning as all of his best form is on fast ground,” said William Buick of the 2017 G1 St James’s Palace S. and this year’s G1 Jebel Hatta hero. “I thought the German horses set a very good standard, it was a very tough race and he struggled with the conditions from a long way out. He’s a high-class horse and his courage and ability got him to win the race. We thought the pace would be good and he jumped a little bit slow from the gates. We were positioned one place further back than where I wanted to be, but he was comfortable and relaxed. I followed Quest The Moon as I knew he’d take me into the race and I got a nice lead off him.”

Winning trainer Charlie Appleby added, “Barney Roy and Spotify flew in yesterday and stabled well overnight, but we came here looking for good-to-firm ground and the rain was a negative for our two horses. There was a strong pace from the start, the local horses ran very well and stamina really came into play.” He continued, “I’d like to thank Munich for putting the race on and allowing us to come. I’d also like to thank the sponsors very much for sponsoring the race at such challenging times for everybody. We’re delighted to be here, at Group 1 level, for Godolphin and very much appreciate everybody’s support.”

Barney Roy is the first of five foals and one of three winners produced by a daughter of G3 Ridgewood Pearl S. and G3 Brownstown Stud S. victress Cheyenne Star (Ire) (Mujahid). He is half to Listed Maggie Dickson Gold Cup runner-up Wisdom Mind (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and the once-raced 2-year-old colt Noble Dynasty (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who shaped with a deal of promise when a debut second at Newmarket last month. Descendants of his Listed Garnet S.-winning third dam Charita (Ire) (Lycius), herself a half-sister to GSW G1 Premio Vittorio di Capua second Stanott (Ire) (Mukaddamah), include ill-fated MG1SW speedster Gordon Lord Byron (Ire) (Byron {GB}).

Raven’s Pass’s Lemista Takes the Kilboy Estate

Ger Lyons had suffered a rare downturn at The Curragh’s weekend meeting when Frenetic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) was overturned in the G2 Airlie Stud S., but the Irish Oaks-winning trainer was straight back in the game with Peter Brant’s Lemista (Ire) (Raven’s Pass) in Sunday’s G2 Kilboy Estate S. Causing an upset when upstaging Saturday’s Classic heroine Even So (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) in the G3 Park Express S. over a mile at Naas Mar. 23, the bay had confirmed her class when adding the Listed Victor McCalmont Memorial S. to her tally over an extended nine furlongs at Gowran Park June 19 and fortunately knew nothing of the new expectations racing in these colours for the first time. If Colin Keane was aware of the pressure, he gave little away as he reserved the 3-1 second favourite towards the back before launching her to take control 150 yards from the post. At the line, she had 3/4 of a length to spare over Lovelier (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), with Kiss For a Jewel (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) half a length behind in third.

“There is no question she’s a good filly and she proved that Naas wasn’t a fluke,” Lyons said.”At home she doesn’t show this and nor does the filly yesterday. She wants soft ground and has been doing it on conditions which don’t suit her. I always thought at this stage she’d be running over 12 furlongs and it’s testament to her ability that she is winning this over nine. She has oodles of class and the same sort of profile as Even So and Yaxeni. They are three fillies I’m looking forward to as 4-year-olds. We took the view there was no point in having three in the Oaks yesterday when she had a nice chance today.”
Lyons is looking at Champions Day for his star duo and added, “My advice to her new owners would be that she should stay here and enjoy the fillies’ programme until at least the end of next year, as she will get her conditions here. Even So will probably have a prep after a break and then go for the Ascot race [the G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S.] and this filly could go for the same race. At that time of the year the ground could be heavy and this one will handle it as will Yaxeni.”

Lemista’s dam Shortmile Lady (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) is a half to the G3 Prix de Meautry winner Indian Maiden (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}), in turn responsible for the G3 World Trophy winner Maid In India (Ire) (Bated Breath {GB}) and the dual listed scorer and G3 Prix de Ris-Orangis runner-up Love Spirit (GB) (Elusive City). From the family of the Listed Surrey S. winner and G3 Sirenia S.-placed Lake Volta (Ire) also by Raven’s Pass, Lemista descends from All Rainbows (Bold Hour) who produced the GI Kentucky Derby heroine Winning Colors (Caro {Ire}) and is a half-sister to the US Fillies’ Triple Crown-winning champion Chris Evert (Swoon Son). She in turn is the ancestress of the eight-times grade I-winning champion sire Chief’s Crown and the GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Hometown Queen (Pleasant Colony). Shortmile Lady also has the unraced Richard Hannon-trained 2-year-old filly Mummy Bear (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), a yearling colt by Australia (GB) purchased by JC Bloodstock for 58,000gns at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale and a colt foal by Zoffany (Ire).
