Store Sales Dates Coordinated Between Goffs and Tattersalls

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, Goffs and Tattersalls have revised the store sales dates to allow sufficient time for vendors to quarantine between the Goffs UK Summer Sale and the Irish Store sales at Goffs and Tattersalls Ireland in compliance with Irish Government quarantine requirements. A two week gap between sales in the UK and Ireland has been agreed to give adequate time for Irish vendors to return from England and quarantine before they head to Kildare for the Goffs Land Rover Sale and then to the Tattersalls Ireland Derby and May Sales at Fairyhouse. The new dates are as follows:

Goffs UK Summer Sale in Doncaster–July 27 to 29th
Goffs Land Rover Sale in Kildare–Aug. 12 to 13th
Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale in Fairyhouse -Aug. 18 to 19th
Tattersalls Ireland May Sale in Fairyhouse-Aug. 20th
Tattersalls Ireland August NH Sale in Fairyhouse-Aug. 27 to 28th

“The bloodstock community, like the rest of the world, is having to adapt and react quickly to an ever evolving situation caused by this awful pandemic,” Tattersalls Chariman Edmond Mahony and Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said in a joint statement. “However, we have come together to make these changes to assist the vendors who have entries in more than one Goffs and Tattersalls catalogue, and need to attend several locations. Both companies are mindful of current government directives and have developed detailed protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees at each sales venue.”

A small number of entries from the Derby and Land Rover Sales will be allowed at the Goffs UK Summer Sale in a joint supplementary catalogue, although confined to UK domiciled stores from either catalogue.

Freshman Sire Pride of Dubai Off the Mark at Ayr

Coolmore-based sire Pride of Dubai (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) became the latest European freshman off the mark when the twice-raced juvenile Star of Emaraaty (Ire) survived a stewards’ enquiry to prevail in Monday’s EBF Stallions Fillies’ Novice Auction S. over an extended seven furlongs at Ayr. In front throughout, the 2-1 second favourite came under ever-increasing pressure inside the final quarter mile and was ridden out in the closing stages to deny Party Spirit (GB) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) by a neck.

3rd-Ayr, £6,400, Nov, 7-13, 2yo, f, 7f 50yT, 1:31.88, gd.
STAR OF EMARAATY (IRE) (f, 2, Pride of Dubai {Aus}–La Grande Elisa {Ire}, by Ad Valorem) shaped with promise when a June 7 debut second over six furlongs at Haydock, posting an 11th of 18 to Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) dropped to five for Royal Ascot’s June 20 G2 Queen Mary S. next time, and hit the lids ready for immediate control of this first try at seven furlongs. Scrubbed along when threatened approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 2-1 second favourite came under ever-increasing pressure thereafter and, despite instigating a stewards’ enquiry when drifting right inside the final furlong, was ridden out to hold the persistent presence of Party Spirit (GB) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) by a neck, becoming the first winner for her Coolmore Stud-based freshman sire (by Street Cry {Ire}). Kin to a yearling filly by Moohaajim (Ire), the February-foaled chestnut is the fourth of five foals and second scorer produced by a half-sister to MG1SW sire Rip Van Winkle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G3 Premio Enrico Camici-winning sire Le Vie Infinite (Ire) (Le Vie Dei Colori {GB}) and to the dam of stakes-winning G1 Middle Park S. runner-up Fleet Review (War Front). Sales history: €6,800 RNA Ylg ’19 GOFFEB; €3,500 Ylg ’19 GOFSPT. Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-0, $6,789.

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}).

Son Of Showcasing Leads Tattersalls July Sale’s Closing Session

Trade on the second and final session of the two-day Tattersalls July Sale continued in robust fashion with the clearance rate of 96 percent matching yesterday's remarkable figure.

The Tattersalls July Sale always attracts a broad cross-section of buyers from throughout the world and this year was no exception with purchasers from Australia, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Japan, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Turkey, the UAE and the U.S. all represented on the buyers sheets.

The top lot on the second day was last time out winner Pawpaw from Clive Cox's Beechdown Stables. The 3-year-old son of Showcasing was knocked down to Tattersalls marketing director Jimmy George for 62,000 guineas (US$82,192) on behalf of dual-purpose trainer Paul Webber.

“Paul has been up here all week doing the hard yards, I have just stood here and waved!” smiled George. “He should be a fun dual-purpose type for Paul.”

Pawpaw, who is out of a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Lend a Hand, won over 1 1/4 miles in June at Lingfield on his fifth career start.

Trainer Karl Burke's Wonderwork, who was owned by his wife Elaine, is bound for Dubai after being knocked down to Dubai-based assistant trainer Alessandro Marconi for 60,000 guineas (US$79,548).

“The horse has some very good form and Night Of Thunder is on fire,” said Marconi, adding: “But he comes from a very good trainer so it will be difficult to match! The horse will stay here for a couple of months and then head to Dubai.”

The 3-year-old gelding won on his debut as a 2-year-old. He has run three times this year and has won or placed on all three starts, and was offered with a 'Timeform' rating of 93.

It was an eventful few minutes for Burke whose star filly Dandalla won the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket five minutes earlier.

At the conclusion of the 2020 Tattersalls July Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“For a bloodstock sale conducted under normal circumstances to register a clearance rate in excess of 95 percent is quite an achievement. To do so in the current climate and with the prevailing government travel regulations preventing so many regular buyers from attending this week's sales is little short of phenomenal.

“There have been four COVID-affected sales which have taken place at Tattersalls in the past three weeks and the clearance rate at every one of them has exceeded 80 percent. Not for a moment are we pretending that it has been plain sailing at all these sales, but they have all exceeded expectations and have all demonstrated an extraordinary resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges and an enduring appetite for British and Irish bloodstock at all levels of the market.

“Over the two days of the Tattersalls July Sale we have sold horses to buyers from nearly 20 different countries, most of whom have had to explore unconventional ways in which to participate at the sale. Our recently introduced live internet bidding platform has added a new dimension and has been consistently used by international buyers, with many others using the telephone bidding service provided by our team on the ground. While the catalog may understandably have lacked a little of the usual quality and quantity, demand for horses in training and in particular well-bred fillies and mares has given some cause for encouragement in uncertain times. We must thank vendors and purchasers alike, all of whom have shown a determination to keep the wheels of the industry turning in the face of considerable adversity.”
