Sasicha leads Goffs February opener

A daughter of Montjeu (Ire) was the main draw during the opening session of

the Goffs February Sale on Tuesday when selling to Boden Global Bloodstock for

€50,000. Consigned by Temple House Stables

as Hip No. 7, the unraced three-year-old Sasicha is a half to triple Group 3

winner Carribean Sunset (Ire) (Danehill Dancer), who placed in last year's Irish

One Thousand Guineas (Ire-G1) and Coronation S. (Eng-G1).

Of the yearlings on offer, it was Taroka Stud's Hip 214 who emerged on top

after Peter Doyle Bloodstock went to €40,000

for the daughter of Oasis Dream (GB). Out of the stakes-winning and Grade

3-placed Dreams Come True (Fr) (Zafonic), she hails from the family of leading

sprinter and sire Titus Livius (Fr) and last year's German One Thousand Guineas

(Ger-G2) winner Briseida (Pivotal).

That price matched the sum paid earlier by Emerald Bloodstock for Tinnakill

House's winning three-year-old filly Dubai's Gazal (GB) (Fraam). Consigned as

Hip 50, Dubai's Gazal is a daughter of the 2001 German One Thousand Guineas

(Ger-G2) heroine Dakhla Oasis (Night Shift), who is also a sister to the sire

Dyhim Diamond (Ire).

Selling continues Wednesday. Full results are available at goffs.com.
