Doncaster sales

some of you may remember me sharing the trials and tribulations of according to Trevs point to point season last year. Well Trev is enjoying his retirement. Anyway I might be going to donny next week to the horses in training sale with my mate next week. I personally don’t have the skills to share on this thread but I’m sure one of our smarter posters might be able to download and share on this thread.
Here’s the question. With ten grand on the hip which one of these horses would you take home. My mates whittled it down to about thirty but Alan hills has scrubbed ten of those as over budget.
Anyway if you fancy having a look it’s the Goffs in training sale next Wednesday
The one my mate has his eye on is a midnight legend gelding called knight bachelor whose been with warren greatrex.

 

Does he not fancy buying the Gigginstown string? Crikey, some talent in that lot!!

The two i'm intrigued by are both Harry Fry horses - Space Oddity has some really useful chase form over 2m4, so probably wouldn't be one you'd want for P2Ps in particular, but he is looking really well handicapped. Serosevsky is the other one and if you could forgive his runs over regulation fences this season would provide a lot of class to go back pointing with.

Will either go cheap? Probably not, but its a sale in which something like these two will get overlooked for the Gigginstown and Rooney horses.

The other one I hope he is looking at is Little Windmill who to me looks an ideal P2P horse.

Just about managed to keep it down to 15. I suspect a good few of these will go over the £10k which will narrow it down

If I went to the sales I'm sure I would soon knock some of these out. I'm not so it's blindly on pedigree.

 

Sorry what number is that?

 

My mate went to the last sale where records were being broken.. he’s hoping they’ll all do their dough and f@ck off and he might pick up a bargain late on.

 

332 Supreme Steel
Would make a nice pointer. I can ask what the reserve is if its on his list!

 

That does happen. I once sent the wife and daughter to the sales in Ireland with 3 marked on the catalogue. One had already had a wind op so we crossed that one off. Bought the other 2 cheaper than they should have been because they were late in the day. One ended up jumping at International *** level and the over one just below that level

 

367 Family Man
Placed twice in points and will probably sell cheap

 

I’ll make a note of suggestions and pass them on I’ll make him aware of yours stick and see what he says.

 

How do you spot these stick? Just looked at the pedigree. In the top half you have, Nijinsky, Alleged, Mill Reef and Blakeny; and in the bottom half you have Sea Bird and Northern Dancer; all in the same generation column

 

Do you have any idea how many hours a week I spend looking at the horses?

 

This thread should keep you going for the rest of the evening then.

 

If you want to see my idea of a "pedigree" Ron. Lot 255.

 

You like a teofilo don’t you.

 

I sure do. Especially if they look like their Dad.

I have asked the question and that horse is going to the sale with "no reserve". He would be a stunning purchase for someone to go pointing if he sells for the right price. Hunter Chasing would be on the cards.

 

Of course he does. So do I incidentally

 

Yep, one I looked at (being by Teofilo). But trying to keep down the numbers I reluctantly went passed that one

 

No. How many hours a week do you spend looking at the horses? You obviously look into them much more than I do as you have an eye for the bumpers, hence the Bumper King
