Blandford buy at Goffs
BLANDFORD Bloodstock was in action at the Goffs Orby Sale in Ireland this week where they purchased six yearlings over the three day sale.
Blandford went to €120,000 for a daughter of Teofilo who comes from a strong Shadwell family. Her dam, Min Alhawa, was Listed placed and has produced five winners, including two Stakes performers, from seven runners. She is a half-sister to a champion filly in Harayir.
Another purchase that takes the eye is lot 338, a colt by Shamardal. Blandford paid €60,000 for this strapping individual who is out of a Stakes placed Dashing Blade mare from a good German family.
Blandford could have picked up a bargain when buying lot 450 for just €42,000. The daughter of Pivotal is out of a Listed winning mare and, on paper, could be a precocious type.
