More success for the Goffs Land Rover and Doncaster Spring Sales and a trio of black type victories at Cheltenham were among the highlights of 22 National Hunt winners for the Goffs Group over the weekend.
Land Rover graduate Keeper Hill (pictured below right) stormed to an 8 length win in the Grade 2 December Novices’ Chase at Doncaster for Warren Greatrex to make it two wins from three starts over fences. Keeper Hill was sold by Abbey Stables to Blue Bell Bloodstock for €31,000 at the 2014 Land Rover Sale.
Goffs graduates also enjoyed a hat trick at Cheltenham on Saturday that included victory for dual Champion Hurdle runner up My Tent Or Yours (pictured right) who edged out old rival The New One in the Grade 2 International Hurdle, as well as Guitar Pete in the Grade 3 Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Handicap Chase and Kilbricken Storm who impressed in the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle.
My Tent Or Yours was sold as a foal at Goffs by the Irish National Stud to Tiger Bloodstock and was later sold at the Doncaster Spring Sale by Alice Fitzgerald to Highflyer Bloodstock and Nicky Henderson. Guitar Pete is a graduate of the Goffs Open & HIT Sale, while Kilbricken Storm was sold at the 2017 Doncaster Spring Sale by Muriel O’Keeffe to Colin Tizzard for £22,000.
Another winning Land Rover graduate at the weekend was Rapid Escape (pictured below left), who showed excellent form when winning the Listed Future Champions INH Flat Race by 11 lengths at Navan for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud. Rapid Escape was sold in 2016 by Rathmore Stud to Aidan O’Ryan for €46,000.
