Goffs UK Breeze Up Sale Entries Unveiled

The catalog for the Goffs UK Breeze Up Sale at Doncaster, which has produced seven Royal Ascot winners in seven years, is now online.

The royal meeting record comes from an auction that sells less than 200 horses a year, making it all the more impressive.

In a commanding display last year, Doncaster breezers celebrated a Royal Ascot double, with Bradsell  winning the Coventry Stakes (G2) and Perfect Power  the Commonwealth Cup (G1). 

Perfect Power's victory also made it back-to-back wins at Royal Ascot, the now Darley sire having taken the Norfolk Stakes (G2) in 2021, a race in which the sale has sold three of the last seven winners.

This year's catalog features 209 juveniles by many of Europe's leading sires and some of the highlights include:

• Lot 2, a Too Darn Hot  half brother to group 2 winner Aljamaaheer 
• Lot 3, a Dark Angel  full sister to group 2 winner Sovereign Debt 
• Lot 27, a Wootton Bassett  colt out of a half sister to group 1 winner Spinning Queen 
• Lot 47, a Showcasing  colt out of group 3 winner My Lea 
• Lot 55, a Kingman  colt out of group 3-winning mare One Last Dance 
• Lot 74, a No Nay Never  filly out of group 3 winner Realtra 
• Lot 132, an Invincible Spirit  colt out of stakes winner American Frolic 
• Lot 136, a Night of Thunder  colt out of group 2 winner Anthem Alexander 
• Lot 152, a Lope de Vega  colt out of a half sister to group 1 winner Raven's Pass 
• Lot 154, a Sea The Stars  colt who is a close relation to listed winner and group 2-placed Night of Light 
• Lot 169, a Dubawi  filly out of a Frankel  mare and from the family of group 1 winners Daryakana  and Dariyan 

The catalog features the progeny of a number of young and performing sires with the likes of Acclamation  (4), Advertise  (5), Ardad  (2), Blue Point  (4), Calyx  (5), Dandy Man  (9), Dark Angel (4), Exceed And Excel  (2), Harry Angel  (4), Havana Grey  (11), Inns of Court  (7), Invincible Army  (4), Invincible Spirit (4), Kodiac  (9), Land Force  (8), Mehmas  (11), More Than Ready  (2), Night of Thunder (3), Saxon Warrior  (2), Showcasing (4), Sioux Nation  (8), Soldier's Call  (6),Ten Sovereigns  (7), and Too Darn Hot (2) all represented.

Launching the 209-lot catalog, Goffs UK managing director, Tim Kent said: "For longer than any European breeze up, this sale has been turning heads on the international stage and never more so than in recent years given its outstanding performance at Royal Ascot. 

"As a result, demand from vendors for places this year has been at an all-time high and that has led to a brilliant catalog of breezers, with a strong sire profile which looks well-placed to continue the sale's unrivaled Royal Ascot record. As Europe's first breeze up, it is also a first choice for so many and deservedly so."
