The British Horseracing Authority will work with the new owners of any horse purchased with a Royal Ascot engagement to process the change of ownership in time for the horse to race in the new owner’s colours. 

In preparation, anybody wishing to purchase a horse with an entry for Royal Ascot must already be registered as an owner with the BHA in order for the horse to run in their name.  If the owner is registered with another recognised Racing Authority this must be verified in advance of the sale.

For queries please contact Weatherbys Ownership Desk on +44 1933 440077.  The full details of ownership transfer arrangements can be downloaded here.

Following the record opening day of the Land Rover Sale, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:

“Extraordinary. That was the way we summed up this day 12 months ago when the Land Rover record was broken on three occasions headed by an amazing high of €325,000.  Against that background, never mind the ongoing political uncertainties and several other factors, it was always going to be a stretch to get close to the 2018 record breaking stats especially when this year’s top price would only have come in at number six at Land Rover 18.

So for the average to have held steady at €48,386 and to have returned a median price that has risen by 18% to a staggering €45,000 is an incredible achievement and points to a sale of extraordinary depth, quality and consistency, the like of which is simply unprecedented at any sale. This amazing figure flows from a massive clearance rate of 91% whilst the number of six figure transactions grew again and those realising €50,000 or over advanced by 30 to a stunning 103. 

These results are only possible with the help of several groups. The vendors trusted us with a catalogue of unparalleled quality that appealed to the biggest group of buyers ever to have descended on Kildare Paddocks for a NH sale so we thank both sides of the auction equation most sincerely and then salute the superb graduates of previous Land Rover Sales that included 10 individual Grade 1 winners in the past season so cementing the sales reputation for market leading success”.

Comparative Figures – Land Rover Part 1:
 

 
Goffs Land Rover Sale continues at 10am tomorrow with another quality line-up of National Hunt stores on offer. 
 

Trained in France by Gianluca Bietolini, Pure Zen almost got up to win the Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly on her most recent start, finishing just a head second behind Obligate. 

Pure Zen will be offered as Lot 23 and completes a high class catalogue for this year’s London Sale.  Race footage and a walking video are available for Pure Zen and all entries on the online catalogue on the new Goffs London Sale website.
 

The Wesley Ward trained two-year-old Maven (Lot 22), a winner of his only start at Aqueduct and the first USA winner for sire American Pharoah, has been confirmed for the eve of Royal Ascot sale and will be offered with an entry in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes.

Le Done De Vie (Lot 18) from the Andrew Balding stable is another intriguing entry having won both his starts this season, most recently on Derby Day at Epsom.  He looks a high-class middle distance international racing prospect.

Group winner Sestilio Jet (Lot 14), most recently runner-up in a Group 2 at Chantilly for trainer Andrea Marcialis following a Group 3 win over 5 furlongs at Longchamp, is also catalogued.

A pair of Royal Ascot-bound juveniles from Michael O’Callaghan Racing complete the line-up for London.  Isabeau (Lot 20) looked a smart filly when winning on her debut on 31 May and goes for either the Queen Mary or the Windsor Castle Stakes.  Red Epaulette (Lot 21), winner of the opening 2yo race of the Irish season and placed on both subsequent starts, is also bound for London and he will be aimed at the Windsor Castle Stakes.
