Goffs UK Autumn HIT & Yearling Sale at Doncaster got off to a low key start on Monday when 87 of the 133 offered yearlings changed hands for an aggregate of £434,400. An average of £4,993 further emphasized the non-straightforward nature of trading horses in the lower tiers. Topping the day's trade was a colt by Frozen Power (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), lot 97 from Battlefield Stud that was knocked down to David Easterby for £26,000. The colt is a half-brother to stakes winner Micks Yer Man (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}). Also popular was lot 69, Hall Farm Stud's Lethal Force (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) colt bought by Bobby O'Ryan and Middleham Park Racing for £20,000.
