Ballylinch Stud will offer the 12th foal of the unraced Green Room, whose 2018 Galileo (Ire) filly Espania (Ire) topped the 2019 Goffs Orby Sale at €3 million.

In 2019, the Goffs Orby Sale grosses ¥42,927,500 for 364 sold of 429 offered. The average was €117,933 and the median was €65,000. Topping proceedings over the two-day stand was the aforementioned Espania (Ire), who sold for €3 million to M V Magnier/Westerberg from the draft of Ballylinch Stud. Allthough unraced, holds an entry for the Sept. 13 G1 Moyglare Stud S.

A full preview of the Orby Sale will be conducted after the Aug. 12-13 Goffs Land Rover Sale at Kildare Paddocks with online bidding and strict social distancing protocols in place. The Land Rover Sale is the first sale in Ireland since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and Goffs is working closely with Horse Racing Ireland to ensure that the protocols in place mirror those on Irish racecourses. Goffs is committed to delivering the best marketplace possible given the current situation, with further announcements in connection to the Orby Sale and Oct. 29-30 Sportsman’s Sale in the future.

“In the first instance we want to thank the many Irish breeders and consignors who have overwhelmingly maintained their support of the Orby Sale with drafts of quality and depth leading to another selection of pedigrees and physical specimens that simply fills us with enormous pride,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “On visit after social distanced visit to stud farms across the land the Goffs inspection team have been supported by colts and fillies of true quality that would make the grade with ease into any other premier sale.

“These are especially challenging times and Auction Houses are having to be more adaptable than ever in terms of dates and locations. However, as we have demonstrated in recent months, Arqana, Goffs and Tattersalls will consider every option to serve the industry as best we are able, putting our usual competitive natures to one side for the greater good. To that end I have agreed with Edmond Mahony at Tattersalls that we will meet following the forthcoming store sales to discuss the autumn sales programmes of Goffs and Tattersalls, and the options that exist.

“With specific reference to the Orby and Sportsman’s Sales we will continue to monitor the situation and look at any and all options as matters evolve but we would reiterate that the modern day Goffs was set up to provide a world class sales facility in Ireland specifically for the Irish breeder. That said at the same time we have a superb sales complex in the UK so we have options to serve the industry on both sides of The Irish Sea and will make a timely decision in the best interests of all our valued vendors when we have weighed up the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative against the backdrop of a situation that is literally changing by the day. However we feel it would be imprudent to rush in to any finite decisions beyond this week at this stage and we would ask for calm heads together with the continued support of our loyal clients as by working together we can deliver the best results for the world class Irish horses so sought after around the world.”

Showcasing’s Mohaather Impressive In the Summer Mile

For a long time denied a fair crack in the luck department, Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) made up for much of the lost time when rewarding market confidence in style in Ascot’s G2 Betfred Summer Mile on Saturday. Badly hampered and finishing full of running when seventh in the G1 Queen Anne S. on the straight track at the Royal meeting June 16, the 2-1 favourite was a touch free early for Dane O’Neill with his rider at pains to restrain his enthusiasm halfway down the field. Unleashed in the straight, the bay hit the front a furlong from home and surged clear for an authoritative 3 3/4-length success from San Donato (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), with Duke of Hazzard (Fr) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) a neck behind in third.

“I thought it was a solid-looking group two and he’s won it with a lot in hand to suggest he gets the mile really well,” trainer Marcus Tregoning commented. “Hopefully, we’ll get a group one or two with him, if we’re clever. We should be able to do it. It’s very exciting for everybody and a big boost for us. It hasn’t been easy, but luckily he’s got a very good owner. Sheikh Hamdan is so patient and so good to train for. I just have to worry about getting the horse to the races in tip-top order and we managed it today. We’ve got a good horse here and he’s going to be aimed at the top mile races like the [G1] Sussex. We’ll probably go to Goodwood.”

Mohaather had Classic pretensions last Spring after wins in Newbury’s G3 Horris Hill S. and G3 Greenham S., but injury intervened and he was having his first start subsequently when fifth in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. also on the straight course here in October. Beaten five lengths in that contest and the same margin in the Queen Anne, he had a question mark over him on stamina grounds but any doubts can now be silenced with this emphatic display.

There were obvious clues as to whether Mohaather would stay this far in his immediate pedigree, being a full-brother to Prize Exhibit (GB) who took the GII San Clemente H., GIII Megahertz S. and GIII Senorita S. at the trip as well as the 6 1/2-furlong GII Monrovia S. She was sold to Barronstown Stud for 775,000gns at the 2017 Tattersalls December Mares Sale and is also a half to the stakes-placed Harbour Master (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) and Roodle (GB) (Xaar {GB}) whose son Accidental Agent (GB) (Delegator {GB}) provided a shock in the 2018 G1 Queen Anne S. here. The family also includes the G1 Prix Morny runner-up Gallagher (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}), the G2 Gimcrack S. scorer Bannister (GB) (Inchinor {GB}), the G1 Middle Park S. hero Astaire (Ire) (Intense Focus) and the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Dead Certain (GB) (Absalom {GB}).
