The catalogue for the Goffs UK Breeze Up Sale at Doncaster, featuring 207 lots, is now available. Breezes will take place at 11 a.m. at Doncaster Racecourse on Apr. 9, with the single-day sale held on Apr. 10 at 10 a.m. local time. Already there have been 44 juvenile winners out of last year's sale. Other graduates have been successful at the group level in 2017, among them G3 Cornwallis S. hero Abel Handy (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}); and G1SW Quiet Reflection (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), who won the G3 Renaissance S. Also, for the second year in a row, every horse catalogued has been nominated for the €1-million 2019 Swedish Derby & Oaks Series.
Lots of interest include: lot 3, a colt by Dark Angel (Ire) who is a half-brother to GSW Eastern Impact (Ire) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}); a son (lot 11) of top juvenile sire Kodiac (GB) who is a half-brother to GSW Hamza (Ire) (Amadeus Wolf {GB}); a daughter (lot 49) of Group 3 heroine Princess Iris (Ire) (Desert Prince {Ire}) by Exceed And Excel (Aus); lot 139, a Born To Sea (Ire) half-sister to G2 Coventry S. hero Rajasinghe (Ire) (Choisir {Aus}); and lot 195, a half-brother to Group 2 hero Goodyearforroses (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) by Zoffany (Ire), also look promising
“Following last year's record sale and another good year on the track, we were inundated with entries for 2018 and, as a result, the catalogue has increased in size reflecting the quality of entries received,” said Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams. “The catalogue has certainly taken a step forward in 2018. This is Europe's best breeze-up for 2-year-old winners and has also become a leading outlet for buyers looking for Royal Ascot horses. We will be visiting buyers around the world in the coming weeks to spread that message and look forward to welcoming an international audience to Doncaster.”
