Goffs UK have unveiled the five initial entries for their Goodwood Sale, which takes place after racing during the Glorious Goodwood Festival July 31. The boutique sale is in its second year and features both racing and breeding prospects. Among the initial entries are the Archie Watson trained pair Nate The Great (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and Hurcle (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). The former is a progressive staying 3-year-old who finished third last time out in the G3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket while 2-year-old colt Hurcle made a winning debut at Newcastle at the end of June. The Clive Cox trained Red Armada (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) also looks a progressive sort winning his last two starts for owners China Horse Club and the well-bred colt is now rated 89. Last year's G3 Prix du Bois winner Little Kim (GB) (Garswood {GB}) will be offered in foal to Showcasing (GB) while another interesting offering is Holy Legal (Brz) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). The 7-year-old mare is a 13-time multiple stakes winner and was champion sprinter in Uruguay in 2017/18. She hails from a strong black type family and is currently racing in America and has been placed third on her last two starts at Arlington Park. Entries for the sale will continue to be taken and the catalogue can be viewed here.
