Honeysuckle’s First Colt To Sell At Goffs In December

[Wandering Eyes]

The first colt out of talented hurdler Honeysuckle (Sulamani) will be offered at the Goffs December National Hunt Sale. The sale will be held at Kildare Paddocks from December 7-10.

Consigned by Peter Molony's Rathmore Stud on behalf of Honeysuckle's owner Kenny Alexander, the colt is by Blue Bresil. Honeysuckle's first foal is a filly by Walk In The Park.

During her racing career, Honeysuckle won 17 of her 19 starts, including 13 Grade 1s under Rachael Blackmore for trainer Henry de Bromhead. Molony purchased her on behalf of Alexander for €110,000 at the 2018 Goffs Punchestown Sale following her point-to-point victory at Dromahane.

Peter Molony said, “We're really looking forward to bringing this superb colt to Goffs for the December Sale. He's a good, scopey colt, a good walker and mover, and we think he should prove very popular.

“Kenny has made the decision that all the colts will be sold, so it was always the plan for him to go to the sales. We also have a very nice Walk In The Park colt out of Gala Marceau who will be offered.

“We thought Blue Bresil would suit Honeysuckle very well physically and, of course, he has sired eight individual Grade 1 winners. As the saying goes, breed the best to the best and hope for the best.”

Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Kenny and Peter have chosen the Goffs December National Hunt Sale for Honeysuckle's first colt. She was an extraordinary race mare who captured the imagination of racing fans in Ireland, Britain and far beyond, and it is a privilege to welcome the next chapter of her remarkable story back to Goffs. Her own journey with Kenny began at the Goffs Punchestown Sale and we are enormously proud that her Blue Bresil colt will now be offered at Kildare Paddocks.”
