6th August News

Recent arrivals at Dodlands Steading

Well, recent and not so recent, actually.

A few months ago, we were delighted when chosen by the Six Thix Syndicate to train their purchase out of Jimmy Moffat's stable, Dumbarton. The 8 yr old has now run a couple of races for the stable, being placed in both and running nice races into the bargain

In May, at the Goffs UK Spring Store sale, a good looking son of Satri was purchased. The 3 yr old has now finished his education - courtesy of the excellent Tim Reed - and is working well in his initial exposure to morning gallops. He is for sale, and is a strapping, good looking sort who looks tailor made for the winter game.

And bringing things right up to date, just last Wednesday the Potassium Partnership ventured to the sales ring, again to GoffsUK at Doncaster to purchase Goodknight Percy, a 3 yr old gelding out of Kevin Ryan's stable.

Heading to Tattersalls Ireland sales next week

Tuesday and Wednesday (9th & 10th August) sees Tattersalls (Ire) host their annual August NH Store sale at their Ratoath sales complex, about 25 miles north of Dublin.

There's over 650 horses catalogued, so each day will be quite full, but we're looking forward to it and hope to purchase a horse or two for the future, at a reasonable price. Look out for the Tatts Sales web-site on-line or watch this space for updates next weekend.
