Race entries
*From the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale 2021. The sale where we purchased our Group 1 winner and Champion European 2yo 2013; TOORMORE (£36,000), Group 2 winner VENTURA TORMENTA and dual Group 2 winner KOOL KOMPANY (£40,000) All trained by RICHARD HANNON!*
SIRE: Unfortunately
DAM: Eleventh Hour (Invincible Spirit)
TRAINER: Richard Hannon
“Quality, Value, Success”, were Doncaster Bloodstock Sales’ mantra for a number of years in the late 2000’s, and now, rebranded as Goffs Uk, the precocious, sharp, racy 2yo’s that have put Goffs at the forefront of the ‘2yo type’ market, are typified by this son of the Champion French 2yo 2017, the Group 1 Prix Morny & the Group 2 Prix Robert Papin winner Unfortunately.
Unfortunately, is a first season sire who has his first runners in 2022. If you can get ahead of the curve with a freshman sire you can often be sourcing value for money, synonymous with Doncaster’s watchwords.
Our colt is from a very fast, Coolmore family, which is littered with Group 1 performers. He’s an effortless mover and appears to have a bombproof temperament.

Racing update: A recurrence of sore shins (so common with 2 year-old's) had kept him off since his last run, but he is ready to 'Rock n Roll' again now for a second start. Should be ready to win this side of Christmas. TIMEFORM RATED: 73p. His race entries/declarations, will show on this page.
2nd on debut, Racing TV commented: "A really good run by Congresbury - a winner waiting to happen."
Timeform reported: "Dam maiden half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Communique out of smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f/1m winner) Midnight Line) showed promise in faring best of the newcomers; in touch, shaken up over 2f out, took still 1f out, kept on; should improve."
