*From the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale 2022 - the best Sale of the season for 2yo’s. 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)*
SIRE: ZOFFANY (Dansili)/ DAM: SO DEVOTED (Holy Roman Emperor)
Tim says: “By a sire who has already produced a Group 1 winner for MPR, in Ventura Storm, who was also a super close 2nd in the St Leger. This colt is as good a mover as we saw all week. The mare has already produced one black type performer. We own the 2yo half sister Hoof It Hoof It who was a Newbury novice winner the other day and probably goes next, for the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury. His £70,000 hammer/purchase price could look exceptional value in 12 months’ time."

Likely to be a first half of the season sort with very much one eye on Royal Ascot, where we managed to have a number of 2yo runners this year including the Queen Mary 2nd (Maylandsea) and the Windsor Castle 3rd (Eddie's Boy.)
This colt will qualify 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 this horse’s agenda too. We do know how to win a 'sales race' of course! EDDIE'S BOY won the Weatherby's Super Sprint and SHOULDVEBEENARING, the Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes in 2022.
A sharp and racy sort, we’d hope to debut in April or May, with Royal Ascot in mind, hopefully. Then, all being well, on to Sales races and Group races. However, failing that, we’d go on to look at nursery handicaps at, hopefully, the main, summer festivals, where our silks are regularly seen.
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.
The same MPR buying team, who bought last year's juveniles did a great job, with 18 pieces of 2yo black type earned in 2022 and no doubt they have struck gold with this one too!
Training update (23rd March): Marco is pleased with his progress, he is a happy horse in his work and has a great attitude. See a new video update of him on the gallops, below, working upsides, nearest the camera..
