SIRE: PHOENIX OF SPAIN (Lope de Vega)
Tim says: “We stopped bidding on this colt at £42,000, which we thought was enough. He was then knocked down to the very shrewd Sam Sangster for £48,000 at a sale he’s done so well at (Isaac Shelby etc.) So, when he and Brian Meehan offered us the horse and offered to keep a share, we jumped at the chance. We loved the horse and are delighted to welcome Brian to the team. He trains at the historic Manton Estate of course.”

She qualifies for The £300,000 Goffs Harry Beeby Premier Yealing Stakes; a race, that we won this year with our £40,000 purchase Shouldvebeenaring. He earned £122,000 in winning that day, at York’s Ebor Festival and his owners won a £47,000 voucher to spend on a ‘free’ horse at this year’s Sale too.
This filly also qualifies for Redcar’s £250,000 2yo Trophy, which we’ve won in the past with Ventura Mist, and the £300,000 Weatherby’s Insurance Sales race, held at Doncaster in September could easily be on her agenda too.
We’ve a proven track record of delivering, year in, year out, and we’d hope a fair number of our Goffs UK purchases can deliver on the highest stage, again in 2023.
Here she is, having arrived at the pre-training yard, looking relaxed after the rigours of the sale:
The same MPR buying team, who bought last year's yearlings have done a great job-no doubt they have struck gold with this one too!
