    • The Wednesday session of the Goffs November Foal Sale is quickly living up to its lofty billing as, just over an hour into the action at Kildare Paddocks, a Sea The Stars (Ire) colt consigned by Baroda Stud was knocked down to Godolphin for €1,000,000.  The colt boasts a glittering pedigree being a full-brother to Teona (Ire). Trained by Roger Varian, Teona won the G1 Qatar Prix Vermeille before lighting up the Tattersalls December Mares Sale last year when knocked down to Juddmonte for 4.5 million gns. It was Juddmonte who put up the most resistance to Godolphin and filled the role as underbidder to Anthony Stroud, who secured the millionaire lot on behalf of Godolphin.   Stroud commented, “He is a very nice individual [who] walked very well. [He has] a lot of presence and a lot of body. He is by Sea The Stars who is a Derby winner and he is out of a Group 1 winner who has produced a Group 1 winner. All of the stars aligned. He has a wonderful temperament. We looked at him on many occasions and saw him in the pre parade ring and he was very relaxed. The pedigree and the conformation matched together. I think, from that point of view, he's a horse who will compliment our homebreds. It looks very competitive. Prices are good and people are getting well paid if they have a nice horse.” The post Goffs Off To A Flyer As Godolphin Goes To 1 Million For Sea The Stars Colt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Hilarious shenanigans,  yet another G1 TA trained mare goes for silly money . You'd have to be seriously naive a fan boy of the all the fan boys or both to believe all these theatrics!
    • The racing community is mourning the loss of champion galloper Elvstroem, who passed away last week in France, where he had been standing at stud since 2016. A son of the legendary Danehill, Elvstroem was purchased at auction for $300,000 and rose to become one of Australia’s most decorated racehorses. Over his illustrious career, he notched up 10 victories from 32 starts, amassing a total of $5.7 million in prize money. Under the guidance of trainer Tony Vasil, Elvstroem claimed a series of major victories, including the 2004 Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) and the 2003 Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m). Following his Caulfield Cup triumph, Elvstroem competed in Australia’s biggest races, finishing eighth in the Cox Plate behind Savabeel and fourth in the Melbourne Cup behind the legendary Makybe Diva. In 2005, he embarked on an international campaign, capturing the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free Stakes and later racing in Hong Kong, England, and France. Throughout his career, Elvstroem enjoyed a strong partnership with jockey Nash Rawiller, with the duo combining for four Group 1 wins from 17 rides together. After retiring from racing, Elvstroem began his stud career at Blue Gum Stud in Victoria before moving to France, where he stood at the Haras du Petit Tellier breeding farm. His passing marks the end of an era for a horse who left an indelible mark on the racing world both on the track and at stud. Horse racing news View the full article
