Horses for Sale

We will not buy a cheaper horse than this all sales season. At 9,000 Euros this colt represents a real bargain and is sure to reward whoever ends up being his lucky owner. Purchased at Goffs Orby 2 Yearling sale he is a good moving son of Sergei Prokofiev. It is the dam side of his pedigree though that is noteworthy. 

His dam, Paris Rooftops, has produced three winners from three runners. She is by Galileo and boasts a fantastic Airlie Stud pedigree. She is a half sister to the Dewhurst winner (G1) Intense Focus. Paris Rooftops is also a grand daughter of another super sire in Danehill. 

This colt is very closely related to the champion two-year-old Skitter Scatter. Skitter Scatter was by the much-missed Scat Daddy and this colt is a grandson of him. A look at his pedigree will show you just how closely related they are. 

Broken and riding away, he can be viewed at Highfield by appointment.

This early born filly ticks all the boxes for any owner wanting action in the early part of next season and into the high summer. She is a daughter of top-class freshman sire Good Guess, out of the prolific broodmare Luminous Gold and bred by the winning machine that is Tally Ho Stud. This filly was the first lot into the ring on day 2 of the Goffs UK Premier Yearling sale and we feel that she flew slightly under the radar selling that early in the day. 

Her sire Good Guess is new to the stallion ranks and will have his first runners next year. He was a good two-year-old who got up and running in June of that year. However, he really came into his own at three when winning the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat over 7 furlongs leaving the likes of Chaldean and Charyn in his wake. Good Guess is impeccably bred and was one of the most expensive sons of Kodiac to go through a sales ring when he sold as a yearling. We liked his progeny that much at this sale that two of the four horses that we bought, were by him.  

Luminous Gold has proven herself to be an excellent breeder. From 11 foals she has bred, 10 made it to the racetrack and 9 of them won – that is quite some record! When bred to Kodiac (three times) she has produced 3 winners including the very smart two-year-old Alaskan Gold.  

At £22,000 we feel this filly represents good value and could be ideal for high summer races such as the Super Sprint next season.

2025 Bay Filly by Ubetterbelieveit (IRE) x A Go Go (GB)

This early born filly shouts speed and precocity both in her physique and also her pedigree. She is by the speedy Ubettabelieveit, sire of this season’s Prix Robert Papin winner Tokaido and is out of the hardy race mare A Go Go who was a five time winner over five furlongs. 

A Go Go is a sister to some really smart performers such as Ardbrae Lady (second in the Irish 1000 Guineas), Obe Gold (winner of the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy) and Radio Gaga (a Listed winner). We also trained another sibling Lady Willpower who was diminutive but very tough indeed. 

This filly cost 20,000 Guineas, qualifies for Band C & D novice races and if she wins one next year then she is eligible for a £20,000 GB Bonus. By mid-summer she might well have paid for herself before having a crack at some decent two year old contests for the remainder of the year. 

We purchased a Queen Mary winner from this sale in Signora Cabello for 20,000 Guineas. The similarities to this filly do not end there…

2023 Bay Gelding by Ghaiyyath (IRE) x Cosmic Approach (IRE)

Cosmo Brown was one of our picks of day one of the recent Tattersalls horses in training sale. We have had plenty of success in targeting day one of the sale in the past as there is a feeling that sometimes the market doesn’t quite come to boiling point too early. He was a horse who incidentally we had viewed as a yearling and liked but saw him as needing a bit of time and for that reason we passed him over. His previous trainers gave him all the time he needed and in recent months he has started to show the benefit of that. He has been placed in his last four starts in handicaps (he’s only run in five), looking progressive each time. He has been bought with an eye on staying handicaps for next year. His last run over one mile and six furlongs suggested that two miles and beyond could be well within his compass next year. His form on an artificial surface has us thinking that he could be the sort of horse to make into a Nortumberland Plate/Vase candidate in the high summer months of 2027 too. He has the size and scope to make into a lovely jumping prospect in time and will suit any owner looking to purchase a progressive stayer who has best days are well and truly ahead of him.

Price: 43,000 Guineas
