Nominations for the Goffs London Sale in association with QIPCO are now being accepted, with the boutique sale looking to catalogue up to 50 world class lots featuring horses in training with Royal Ascot entries and a selection of elite breeding stock. The sale will once again take place at The Orangery, Kensington Palace on the eve of Royal Ascot, Monday 19 June, 2017.
The Goffs London Sale has gone from strength to strength since its inaugural year in 2014 when it offered the first Frankel foal at public auction anywhere in the world. The colt along with his dam Crystal Gaze who was back in foal to Frankel sold for £1.15 million. The first London Sale also featured a top price of £1.3 million for Cappella Sansevero who went on to finish a close second in the Coventry Stakes the next day.
The 2016 renewal saw Irish 1000 Guineas winner, Jet Setting, go under the hammer selling to the China Horse Club, for £1.3 million. The catalogue also featured the Listed-winning Archipenko mare Lady Penko, who was the first mare to be offered for sale in foal to Investec Derby hero, Golden Horn and was knocked down for £360,000.
The Goffs London Sale has sold the highest priced horses in training and recorded the highest HIT average in the UK in each of the past three years. Graduates of the sale include Australian Group 1 winner Pornichet, Classic winner Harbour Law and Saudi Arabian Group 1 winner Smoking Sun as well as Stakes winners such as Realtra, Jet Setting, Madam Dancealot and Mirage.
Henry Beeby, Group Chief Executive of Goffs commented: “We have been thrilled with how the sale has developed since 2014, but are always looking to improve and refine it. As a shop window on the eve of the most global race meeting in the world, our vision for it is to continue to attract new buyers and investment in our sport. To be able to purchase a thoroughbred on the eve of Royal Ascot and see it run the same week in your name and in your own colours is something we believe is very attractive and are very grateful to the BHA who have enabled this to happen.
“Once again, we would like to thank our title sponsor QIPCO for their ongoing commitment along with partners, Chateau Leoube, Selfridges and Select Mobile. We are also delighted to welcome JetSmarter and Claridges as new supporting partners this year.”
The format for this year’s sale will differ in that there will be no Breeze-Up section as in previous years. Nominations for horses in training and breeding stock entries are now open and can be made by contacting Goffs on +353 45 886600 or online at www.goffs.com |

MARTEDÌ 18 APRILE 2017. #Newmarket: Si apre il #Craven Meeting. Tre giorni di corse con Feilden, Craven e Nell Gwynn in ottica Classica. Oggi le aste
Il Craven Meeting avrà pure perso un pò della sua funzione, visto che molti rientreranno direttamente nelle Ghinee, ma ha comunque il suo fascino con una serie di corse che vanno viste e fanno status. Da martedì a giovedì un pieno di turf e tradizione a Newmarket. Intanto ci sono anche le aste organizzate da Tattersalls e da oggi fino a giovedì al termine delle corse si terranno le licitazioni dei Breeze Up. Per vedere il live dell’asta, che inizierà alle 18, clicca su questo LINK.
Parlando di corse. Oggi si apre con le Wood Ditton, facendo un parallelo è come se si corresse il Donatello o il Gardenghi, una debuttanti cioè ma con cavalli buoni dentro. Il favorito in antepost è Elyaasaat (Frankel), con maternità di prestigio in Lahudood (Singspiel), per Hamdan Al Maktoum, iscritto al Derby. Vedremo cosa accadrà ma il martedì è anche il giorno delle Feilden Stakes Lr, tradizionale test sui 1800 metri che lancia verso il Derby. Negli ultimi anni sono passati da qui gente come Intello e Golden Horn, solo per citarne 2, ma quest’anno apparentemente non ci sono campioni. Il favorito è Salouen (Canford Cliffs) per Sylvester Kirk che a 2 anni si è piazzato secondo nel Lagardere G1 di National Defense, che abbiamo visto la settimana scorsa rientrare discretamente in Francia ma senza esaltare. John Gosden presenta Khalidi (High Chaparral e l’italiana Bezique), con in sella Frankie Dettori. Viene dagli handicap. In giornata correrà anche Brex Drago (Mujahid) in cima ad un handicap non semplice, con l’allievo in sella per il discarico. IL CAMPO PARTENTI DI martedì cliccando QUI.
