    • The Goffs UK Coral Gold Cup Sale will be staged immediately after the racing at Newbury ends on its flagship National Hunt meeting, the Coral Gold Cup, on Saturday, November 29. This year marks the third consecutive year of the sale. It will be held in the winner's enclosure at Newbury and is a select point-to-point sale. The 2023 edition featured the £320,000 sale of Kindly Prince (Mr Dinos). In 2024, 14 of the 16 horses offered sold for £1,510,500. An average price of £107,893 and median price of £85,000 were achieved last term. Tim Kent, Goffs UK managing director, said “The Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale has produced some fantastic results in its first two years and has built a reputation as a trusted outlet for top-class UK and Irish point-to-pointers. We are starting to see the first graduates hit the track, with Real Quartz winning his debut only days ago, so the coming season will be an exciting one for the sale and we are looking forward to offering another high-class, boutique catalogue of pointers, after racing on Coral Gold Cup Day.” The post Goffs Boutique P2P Sale Returns To Newbury appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk Spirit of Atlanta has the look of a readymade winner at Rangiora today (Thursday). The Lather Up three-year-old has placed three times in five starts and was an eye catching second to the highly-rated Transonic who gave Tim Williams his 100th winner on debut at Ashburton during Cup week. It certainly looked the run of a “next-upper” and she certainly hasn’t been missed by anyone, opening a red hot $1.60 favourite. “She is a tough wee thing,” Holmes says of Spirit Of Atlanta, “she just keeps coming.” The filly has drawn handily at two in the Property Brokers Rangiora “Toot for Tucker” Mobile Pace. “She’ll get off the gate ok so we will be going forward,” says Holmes. “Her form line is good so hopefully she is good to go.” Holmes will also drive two for Brent Weaver – Girlshavtime in Race 4 and Shadow Creek in Race 7. “Brent says Girlshavtime is a bit of work in progress and I quite like Shadow Creek. Three runs back it was a good run.” That was a second at Oamaru on Oamaru 19. He’s since had a seventh at Kaikoura and a fifth at Addington. The Property Brokers Rangiora “Pretty Gutsy” Mobile Pace looks a wide open race including the likes of Acento, Gimmesomelovin, Courage Reaction and Normie Stead. “I’d say we are an each way chance,” Holmes said of Shadow Creek. Holmes’ best horse at the moment is six-win trotter Dreams Pat though he is a bit of a frustration as well. He won well at Kaikoura, only to break out on contention twice when well supported at Addington during Cup week. “He just does not like being confined. If he’s in front or out the back he’s fine.” “He certainly has the motor but he’s got to keep his feet on the ground.” “He’s only four and he has it all of ahead of him.” Right now Dreams Pat is having some downtime before heading down south to the Christmas circuit at Omakau and Cromwell. Racing at Rangiora starts at 2.40pm. View the full article
    • After receiving approval by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, the post times for live Thoroughbred racing at Woodbine have been moved for Friday Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 22. The first race post time on Friday, Nov. 21 has been moved up from 4:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET, and the post time on Saturday, Nov. 22 has been moved up from 1:05 p.m. to 12 p.m. ET. These adjustments better accommodate extra races to be run following recent weather cancellations. This decision was made in consultation with the HBPA. Friday's 11-race card will be highlighted by the rescheduled Ashbridges Bay Stakes (Race 5) and Lake Ontario Stakes (Race 6). Saturday's 12-race card features the $150,000 Shady Well Stakes.   The post Woodbine Adjusts Nov. 21-22 Post Times appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
