Today’s yearling session at Doncaster offered buyers the final opportunity to secure a Goffs UK yearling for 2017. As had been the case at the Silver Sale in August, a son of Mickley Stud’s first-crop sire Heeraat claimed top lot honours, with trainer Tim Easterby signing the docket at £20,000 to take the colt back to his North Yorkshire base, making it a terrific year for our stallion.
The May born colt, described by his purchaser as “a bloody nice horse”, is the second foal out of the Doyen mare Another Sunset, an unraced sister to the Listed-placed Wrekin Sunset.
“He’s a good sort with a great attitude, a great walk and he looks like a galloper,” said Easterby, who gave Mickley Stud’s son of Dark Angel a ringing endorsement. “I’ve got a few by Heeraat, we’re just breaking them in at the moment, and I really like the ones I’ve got – they look very solid, racy types. He throws good-looking horses generally, but this lad stood out.”
Tim is not a bad judge, and we wish connections every success with him!
