Invictus Smart (Fr) (Masterstroke) (lot 9) also reached the £200,000 mark and was knocked down to Highflyer Bloodstock. Consigned by Hugo Merienne, the 3-year-old son of Barbarella Smart (Fr) won his hurdling debut at Fontainebleau by five lengths earlier this year.

From 19 offered, 16 sold (84%) for a gross of £1,501,000. The average was £93,813 (+4%) and the median was up 33% to £70,000.

Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent said, “The Yorton P2P Sales started last year when COVID restrictions made it impossible to sell elsewhere and these sales could not have made a better start on the racecourse with 29 winners to date, including the Grade 1 winning Ahoy Senor, the Grade 1 placed My Mate Mozzie and the exciting joint sale toppers Jonbon and Classic Getaway.

“This quality of the Yorton offering was not lost on buyers today and we are delighted with the results that were achieved by an incredible bunch of vendors who loyally supported us with some of their best recent winners. There have been some fantastic pinhooking results and, whilst we would have liked to have catalogue a few more horses, the unseasonably dry ground conditions have reduced the number of top-class horses available at this time of year. On that basis, we are delighted with the results, and we look forward to continuing to build this concept in 2022 and beyond.

“As ever, we would like to thank the Futter and Potter families for welcoming us back to this wonderful venue and we are excited about continuing the fantastic role of honour from the Goffs UK P2P Sales.”
