by Ardad (Ire)

The Goffs UK Premier sale is the first yearling sale to be held in Europe this year. It has been a good sale to us down the years with current stable star Safe Voyage graduating from there in 2014.

Our first purchase from this year’s sale was lot 135, a grey colt by freshman sire Ardad. His dam Cherubic was a dual winning daughter of Dark Angel. This is the first foal out of Cherubic and he looks a real two-year-old type – a sprinter for next season.

Ardad’s first yearlings are selling this Autumn. He himself was a rocket of a two-year-old. A week after winning his maiden he rolled on to Royal Ascot and bolted up in the Windsor Castle Stakes. Later that season at Doncaster he won the Group 2 Flying Childers. He is a son of the outstanding Kodiac and hails from the family of Maarek. He should make his mark with two-year-olds in 2021.

Sale price: £17,000 (plus 5% agent’s commission)
