The progeny of Dark Angel may have dominated the Goffs UK Premier Sale, but it was the turn of one of his sire sons to take centre stage during a lively renewal of the Silver Sale on Thursday, as Peter and Ross Doyle parted with the session-topping sum of £48,000 for a Heeraat colt from Egmont Stud.
“He was a standout physically, he moves really well and came from a great home. He’s been bought to go into training with Richard Hannon,” said Ross Doyle, who had entrusted Carol Tinkler to perform bidding duties, having left to inspect yearlings at Baden-Baden.
The colt, bred at Mickley Stud by Richard Kent, is out of the unraced Street Cry mare Ringtail, who comes from a strong US family that includes the Grade 2 winner Cinnamon Sugar and her dam, the Mother Goose Stakes winner Sugar And Spice. Richard is hoping the colt can keep the page ticking over, as Ringtail also produced another colt by Heeraat earlier in the year.
