Pointer Tops Goffs UK Autumn HIT

[Wandering Eyes]

Five-year-old Do Your Job (Ire) (Fame and Glory {Ire}) (lot 81), a debut point-to-point winner earlier this month, took top billing at Goffs UK’s Autumn HIT Sale on Thursday, fetching £150,000 from Mark Dunphy and Derek O’Connor.

“We are delighted to have purchased him, he was the standout lot today and is to go into training with Claire Dyson,” commented O’Connor. “He’s an athletic type and Colin has produced some cracking horses such as Samcro and Malone Road so hopefully he can follow in their footsteps.”

Another 5-year-old pointer, Buzz (Fr) (Motivator {GB}) (lot 76), filled the second-top spot at £80,000 when bought by Highflyer Bloodstock. In all, 100 horses were sold on the day from 143 offered, accounting for £890,200. The average of £8,902 was down 22%, while the median dipped 20% to £4,000.

Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams said, “Today’s sale demonstrated once again the strength at the top of the market with the listed-placed and four-time winner Buzz and debut winning Irish pointer Do Your Job selling well–the later matching last year’s top price of £150,000. This sale has produced some outstanding racehorses such as the triple Group 1 winner Supasundae and we wish our buyers, who have travelled from throughout Europe and the Middle East, the very best of luck with their purchases.”
