Viren's Army To Be Offered At Goffs London Sale With Royal Ascot Entry

Goffs is delighted to announce that Viren's Army, recent winner of the Listed Dee Stakes at Chester for Richard Hannon and Middleham Park Racing, will be offered for sale at the Goffs London Sale on Monday 13th June.  He will be sold with an entry in the Group 3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The eve of Ascot sale held in association with QIPCO at The Orangery at Kensington Palace presents the unique opportunity to purchase a horse that is ready to run in the colours of its new owner at the Royal meeting, and Viren's Army is an exceptionally exciting prospect for any potential buyer. 

Tim Palin of Middleham Park Racing commented:

"Viren's Army has been the apple of my eye for a long time, but Middleham Park is a commercial operation and we have sold many top class horses that have gone on to great success for their new owners. Horses like Toormore, Realtra, Kool Kompany, Lily's Angel and Sandiva are examples of this and I expect an improving colt like Virens Army to be no exception, so much so that we have entered him in the Irish Derby after Royal Ascot. He is an ideal horse to campaign in both Europe and internationally, he has a great disposition and looks very progressive.

Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby added "The London Sale continues to go from strength to strength and we are delighted to work with Middleham Park. Virens Army looks set to be one of the centerpieces of our sale and appeals as a horse who will excel anywhere in the world".

Horses In Training entries for the London Sale will close on Friday 27 May. A limited number of high class wild card entries may be considered up until the sale.  Enter online at www.goffs.com or contact Goffs on +353 45 886600.
