Goffs February Catalogue Released

Parish Hall, pictured winning the Dewhurst S. in 2011 is catalogued in Goffs | Racing Post

Goffs have released the catalogue for their February Sale which has been extended to three days this year. The sale will take place Feb. 7-9 and a significant feature includes the initial dispersal of stock owned by Ballymacoll Stud which is being wound down this year. Among their five fillies on offer through Jockey Hall Stud is Edith Wharton (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), an un-raced 3-year-old out of MG1SW Islington (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), offered as lot 498. Also sure to generate interest is the once raced 3-year-old Olive Branch (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}). Lot 672 is a half-sister to three stakes winners including the Australian Group 1 winner Sir John Hawkwood (Ire) (Sir Percy {GB}). The sale opens with a selection of 2-year-olds and older horses in training and an early eye catcher is lot 19 from The Castlebridge Consignment on behalf of the Wildenstein Dispersal. Persuasion (Fr) (Silver Frost {Ire}), a 2-year-old who is broken and riding is from a family laden with black type performers including the G1 Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}). Jim Bolger has entered his G1 Darley Dewhurst S. winner Parish Hall (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) as lot 84. The 8-year-old entire has been off the track since June 2015 so it would appear he is being offered as a potential stallion prospect.

 
With day three of the sale made up of breeding stock this means over a day and a half of short yearlings will be on offer. A good selection of sires are represented which will ensure pinhookers will be out in force and with Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) continuing to find favour his two representatives, a colt (lot 451) and a filly (lot 381), both offered through The Castlebridge Consignment, are bound to be popular. Intello (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}) is a stallion whose first runners are eagerly awaited this spring and Norelands Stud offer the sire's only yearling in the sale. Lot 430 is out of the winning Kingmambo mare Dolphina, from the family of MG1SW Chimes Of Freedom (Private Account). The sale starts 10am daily and the catalogue can be viewed here.
