‘Smart Performer’ Ghostwriter Anchors Initial Goffs London Entries

[Wandering Eyes]

The initial entries for the June 16 Goffs London Sale, held in association with Fitzwilliam Sports and Privat 3 Money, include G2 Royal Lodge Stakes hero Ghostwriter.

A son of Invincible Spirit from the yard of Clive Cox, the 4-year-old was third in the 2024 G1 International Stakes and holds a Timeform rating of 120. Timeform describes him as a “big, good-topped colt: very smart performer.” He carries an entry for the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot, as well as an entry in the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes later this summer.

Adrian Murray consigns Power Blue (Space Blues) to the sale. A debut winner, he ran second to Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) in the G3 Marble Hill Stakes at The Curragh last month, and holds an entry in the G2 Coventry Stakes.

Another lot of note is Eqtidaar 3-year-old colt Tropical Storm from the yard of Andrew Balding. He won the Listed Westow Stakes at York recently and was runner-up in the G2 Norfolk Stakes at two. He holds entries in both the G1 Commonwealth Cup Stakes and the G1 King Charles III Stakes.

Held at Kensington Palace Gardens the evening of Monday, June 16, the sale allows buyers the opportunity to run their new acquisitions in their colours at the iconic meeting. The full catalogue including pedigrees, race and conformation videos along with Royal Ascot targets, will be available early next week.

Henry Beeby, Goffs Group chief executive, said, “No other sale in the world offers the opportunity to purchase a horse on Monday and see it run in your colours at Royal Ascot the same week. The global appeal of the Goffs London Sale and its unique proposition continues to thrive, and we are proud to announce these high-class Royal Ascot contenders and international prospects among the early entries, with more to follow.

“Goffs, together with our title partners Fitzwilliam Sports and Privat 3 Money, look forward to welcoming invited guests from around the world to Kensington Palace Gardens to open Royal Ascot week with a sale, and an audience, like nowhere else.”
