Never Back Down Among Goffs London Entries

[Wandering Eyes]

Never Back Down (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), who won the Listed Shalaa Carnarvon S. at Newbury in May and is eyeing the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, is the latest horse to be added to the Goffs London Sale in association with QIPCO on Monday, June 18. He is joined by the SP Main Street (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}), who holds an entry in the G2 King Edward VII S., while juvenile Luchador (GB) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) is also slated to sell. The last-named won in taking fashion at Thirsk in May.

Other notable entries announced earlier are: Landikusic (Ire), a full-sister to Zoffany (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) in foal to Frankel (GB); Group 1 winner Miss Beatrix (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}); and listed winner Vintage Brut (GB) (Dick Turpin {Ire}), who leads the horses-in-training portion.

“As we race towards the fifth renewal of the Goffs London Sale in association with QIPCO, the boutique catalogue is coming together nicely with an interesting mix of both the horses-in-training and breeding stock categories with 13 confirmed entries and two weeks to go,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “Entries will be taken throughout this week and next and are by no means restricted to horses entered at Royal Ascot as a number of racing and breeding prospects have proved previously. We are excited about the new site which although is still within grounds of Kensington Palace, will allow us to create something from scratch and guests can expect an extra special experience to unofficially raise the curtain on the most global race meeting in the world.”

He said, “We are committed to attracting new investment into the sport and the ability to purchase a horse on the eve of Royal Ascot and see it run in your colours during the most prestigious week in international flat racing has really caught the imagination of buyers from around the world and we are particularly excited about this year’s renewal.”
