Siamsaiocht Tops Goffs Champions Sale at €300,000 Selling to China Horse Club...

Goffs Champions Sale, held in association with Brown Thomas, drew another huge crowd to the parade ring before racing commenced on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown.  The small but select catalogue of four high class prospects included the Jim Bolger trained Siamsaiocht (pictured) who topped proceedings when selling to the China Horse Club for €300,000. 

The three year old Teofilo filly is a winner and was runner up in a Listed race at Dundalk behind subsequent Group 1 Breeders Cup winner Hit It A Bomb.  She is an own sister to the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes winner Parish Hall and will run for her new owners in the Northfields Handicap at the Curragh tomorrow.

Last week’s Group 3 Dick Poole Stakes winner Madam Dancealot, also a graduate of the Goffs London Sale, attracted plenty of interest and was ultimately knocked down to Lillington Bloodstock and David Meah Agent for €260,000 on behalf of a new American client. 

Reflecting on the third renewal of the Champions Sale Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby commented:

“Today’s Goffs Champions Sale was the epitome of quality over quantity.  We are pleased with the results of the horses that we offered and especially pleased to have sold the two top lots of €300,000 and €260,000 to the China Horse Club and a new Californian client.  This sale is now a permanent part of Irish Champions Weekend and we will continue to present a small but select bunch of top class horses with international appeal for the foreseeable future.

I would like to extend our thanks to our title partner Brown Thomas for their continued support of the Goffs Champions Sale which helps to open Irish Champions Weekend on the right note”.

The next opportunity to purchase horses in training at Goffs will be on Wednesday 28 September when the outstanding draft of horses in training from the Wildenstein Stables Ltd Dispersal will be offered for sale immediately after the end of the Orby yearling Sale.  Full details are available here on the Goffs website.
