Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 22, 2019 Journalists Share Posted October 22, 2019 Offerings from the Aga Khan Studs proved popular during Tuesday’s single-session Goffs Autumn HIT Sale. After a small session of yearlings to close out the prior day’s offering, 75 horses in training were sold from 104 offered. The day’s aggregate stood at €991,400, down from €1,466,100 last year when four more horses were sold. The average dropped 27% to €13,219, while the median was unchanged at €9,000. Leading the way was the Aga Khan’s 3-year-old entire Shelir (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) (lot 566), the Listed Tetrarch S.-winning grandson of G1 Prix de Diane winner Shemaka (Ire) going the way of Jason Kelly Bloodstock for €70,000. Hailing from the same crop for the Aga Khan was Shamiyan (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) (lot 557), who cost Emerald Bloodstock €58,000, and the dams of Shamiyan and Shemaka are, in fact, half-sisters. Shamiyan has run once, finishing sixth of 16 in a one mile two furlong Naas maiden in April. Sheila Lavery’s Njord (Ire) (Roderic O’Connor {Ire}) (lot 518) broke his maiden a week ago at The Curragh, and that timely update saw him bring €54,000 from BBA Ireland. The morning’s yearling offerings were led by Rathasker Stud’s filly who is the third foal from the placed La Femme (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) (lot 318), who was sold to Powerstown Stud for €35,000. In all, 288 yearlings were sold for €1,691,600, up 3% from last year when 300 were sold. The clearance rate was 74%, the average €5,874 (+8%) and the median €4,000 (+33%).
