    • Glance At Midnight, who holds a Cheltenham Festival Grade 1 entry, is one of the highlights of the 21-strong GoffsGo February catalogue. Set for Wednesday at noon, February 18, the sale ends on Thursday, February 19 at 2 p.m. The sale features 15 horses-in-training, two young stock, and four mares. Consigned as lot 3, the son of Passing Glance carries entries in the G1 Supreme Novices' Hurdle and the G1 Turners Novices' Hurdle. The six-year-old is a bumper and maiden hurdle winner and finished second at listed level earlier this month. Multiple Grade 2 winner Moyhenna (Westerner) (lot 20) will be offered in foal to Harzand. Her full-sister, in foal to Wings Of Eagles (lot 21), will also go under the hammer. Other lots of note include The winner and listed placed Inspire Hope (Camelot) (lot 4), and lot 19, Dinaria (Holy Roman Emperor), a half-sister to sires Doctor Dino and Bande and the dam of three winners so far. Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “GoffsGo made a successful start to the year with its January Sale and as is the concept of the platform, being always ready to sell, the February Sale follows quickly on. We have catalogued some quality horses, headlined by Glance At Midnight who looks to have a bright future in front of him, and some attractive young mares and breeding stock including Moyhenna, who represents a rare opportunity to secure a broodmare of her calibre. “GoffsGo provides a real point of difference to the market as it can cater for horses at all levels and offers tailored auctions from all category catalogues to dispersals and pop-up sales, all of which can be held as open to the public, or confidentially, away from public view. Vendors and purchasers benefit from the same terms of business and the unique and transparent Goffs service that is evident at all live Goffs sales regardless of location. “GoffsGo offers outstanding value with an entry fee of just £49 and the lowest available vendor commission of 1.5% which is only charged for lots that sell on the platform. That is unmatched by any other European online platform.”   The post Glance At Midnight Anchors GoffsGo February Catalogue appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Mickael Barzalona landed a hat-trick of victories at King Abdulaziz Racecourse on the eve of the Saudi Cup to clinch not just the International Jockeys' Challenge but also the valuable Saudi International Handicap.  With the first two legs of the four-race jockeys' contest having been won by Britain's Saffie Osborne and German Derby-winning rider Nina Baltromei, the Frenchman ensured the spoils would be his by taking the final two heats on the turf. Barzalona's victory aboard Year Of The Dragon in round four came at the expense of Norwegian-born Frida Valle-Skar, whose consistent performances throughout the competition earned her enough to take the runner-up spot overall, with Osborne in third in the final standings. “The way we ride on the dirt is completely different and the way you actually ride here is different, which makes the races very attractive, as well. It is great to be here,” said Barzalona.  Valle-Skar, who is generally based in France, added, “It feels amazing, I'm really happy. When I got the draw I was quite happy with my horses and I was proved to be right. “I had not ridden on the dirt for 10 years, the last time was in Texas. It's good to learn and to take this back to France.” The competition may have been over but Barzalona was straight back to business for the next race of the night and guided the Saad Aljenade-trained Frankel gelding Gran Descans to glory for King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz & Sons in the $500,000 Saudi International Handicap. The race is reserved for runners trained in nations in Part II of the IFHA's Blue Book.  Barzalona said of the Juddmonte-bred winner, “Last time [finishing third in the Prince Khalid Abdullah Cup], I gave him a chance to [gather himself] because he was slow from the gate, but today I knew he had the stamina, so I got him going as quick as I can. “He travelled very well for me. We didn't go that fast, but it was a reasonable gallop. When I asked him to lengthen, he actually picked up gradually and stayed strong to the line.” The post Barzalona Dominant in Riyadh on Saudi Cup Eve appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
