Moyglare Stud put the jewels in the crown of the Goffs February for the entire sales of Kildare Paddocks this week.
It was the Blue Point Colt from Dansili (GB) Street Tina Angelina (Irish) who registered a sales offer when it was sold to Tally Ho-Stud, while Matt Coleman landed the study of humans for 165,000 euros. .
Overall, sales for Goffs sales rose by 25% to € 3,857,500 in February, while the average rose by 40% to 18,026 euros. In the meantime, the median rose by 25% to € 10,000 and the Clearance rate also rose by 2% to 67%.
“You were two pretty foals,” as Fiona Craig from Moyglare Stud summarized 266 and 267. “The boys at home did a great job in winter. We had eight here in November and they all sold great, but the blue dot was an April foal and looked a bit relaxed, and the human studies was not quite large Enough, we decided to bring them here.
Tina Angelina is a full sister of Carla Bianca (Irish) who won two races in Group 3 during training with Dermot Weld. She has already produced a black actor in Emilie Gray (IRE) (Dubawi {ire}) and comes from the family of Moyglare Irish 1,000 Guineas Heroine Homeless songs (Irish) (Frankel {GB}).
In the meantime, the study by Man Colt from Dim Angel (ire) mare Titanium Sky (IRE), who has already placed at a listed level and has already produced a group artist in the Sparkling Sea (IRE) (Star Spang Banner {from).
“We have to lower our numbers and therefore we have sold Colt foals in recent years,” continued Craig. “We cannot sell yearlings. Nobody wants anniversary from us. The buyers have now learned that we are selling them and not buying it back. You found out that we do not appreciate you, we have no stupid reserves and you are here to be sold. “
Craig added: “I appreciate the buyers very much because it was such a fight for a long time. Now they have found that we sell them and that they are nice horses. If you had done a hundred [thousand] Each I would have done hand stands. One was a fee of £ 12,500 and the other, a fee of € 35,000.
“The easiest way for us to lower the numbers is to sell Colt foals. We had too many horses – we built up during covid. We will sell some next November and probably November afterwards, and then we will be about the right number. These are pretty foals and typical of what we have in the fields at home. We kept about five colts and they are divided and all stut foals are kept. “
The plans for the blue dot remain a bit in the air, since Tally Ho boss Tony O'Callaghan simply says: “We bring him home and see what happens. We have a lot of options and it is a pretty foal that comes from a very good home. “
In the meantime, Roger O'Callaghan confirmed himself as a large fan of the stallion, who of course is the father of Tally-Ho-student newcomer Gigantic Eve (IRE). He also advanced that the family had one or two pretty Breeze-up prospects through the stallion in their care.
He said: “We were lucky with his father [Blue Point] And we like him. I would say we could be a little more lucky with him [Blue Point]also in April [at the breeze-ups]. “”
The study on Man Colt described Coleman as a “best looking stop” in sales. He said: “I have a lot of respect for the human beings as a stallion, a father who did it on the tough tour. He didn't have many runners on the track, and he obviously has high -quality operational horses, and I think he is a stallion that will be performing better and better in the coming years.
“He has Kalpana as his star Fut, who will run in many group 1 this season and will be his flagship. He is a good son of deep influences. “
Coleman added: “I thought he was the best -looking stop here in the two days. Moyglare does not need an introduction as a kindergarten to raise good racing horses, and the dam is black, sparkling sea [half-sister] is black. So he has all the ingredients to be a good racehorse in the future. He returns to Great Britain and then I will speak to the customer. I am not sure what his plans are. He was a horse that I highlighted yesterday and the one we were targeted. Pleased that we and whatever he did the maximum of what we wanted to give for him, but that's always the way. “
Although Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beteby, Henry Beby, began in an extremely positive way in 2025, he again praised his sovereignty, Aga Khan, who died this week at the age of 88, in the statements of his chairman. Beby also put the good trade in the context when he offered his prayers for jockey Michael O'Sullivan, who was admitted to the hospital after a fall in Thurles on Thursday.
BEEBY said: “Goffs February, without exception, starts the year in Kildare Paddocks in a very positive sense and 2025 is no exception. We have welcomed a huge and diverse contingent of buyers from home and abroad who contributed to two days of strength and depth to confirm the sale at this time of year as a clear market leader. Indeed, the top sieves illustrate (nine of the top 10) and the prices this winter (eight of the top 10) illustrate the enduring attraction of this event that leads a leading provider to say: “Why should I sell somewhere else How she earn more money here!? “These results continue the trends for excellent extensions of our last November and December sales, both of which are leading themselves.
“It is fair to say that trade has proven to be selective, so that those that were the most were more complex than ever, but the market was irreconcilable if there were weaknesses perceived in individual or family tree. This is currently the global bloodstock market. “
He added: “As always, we are obliged to every provider for every entry, since we are nothing without their horses, while it is always a pleasure to welcome all of our buyers. It is gratifying that so many offer the incomparable customer experience of the Goffs team and ITM every time and offer buyers from the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Libya, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, USA brought and of course Great Britain and Ireland.
“While the business of the day can be used up, we were at least partially distracted from events at Thurles this afternoon. Michael O'Sullivan is a friend of many teams here and he is in our prayers.
“Finally, we repeat our earnest condolences to the family of his sovereignty, the Aga Khan, who will mourn so many, not least in Goffs. He was not only our biggest shareholder for many years, but he was also a source for a lot of wise advice, full and very support and enormous encouragement for us, especially in complex times when his personal support for the company was so crucial. Many words have been written and spoken since the sorrowful news passed, but I suggest that a word probably summarizes it as much as everyone: inspiring. “
