    THURSDAY, 8 FEBRUARY, 2018 DARK ANGEL SON LEADS THE WAY AT GOFFS ESTABLISHED SIRES: By Daithi Harvey WHERE=S THE VALUE? The second session of the Goffs February Sale was devoted to short yearlings and the current polarised nature of the European bloodstock market was evident at times during the day when trade was quite tough for many lots that were not deemed to possess obvious commercial appeal. Despite these challenging facets of the market, the right types were still changing hands for good money and it was a son of Dark Angel (Ire) who topped proceedings when selling to Daniel Creighton for i140,000. This top price, which smashed last year's equivalent of i86,000, helped push the majority of the KPI's in the right direction. A total of 110 of the 182 offered yearlings found new homes for a slightly reduced clearance rate of 60%, which highlights the selective nature of the market. However, the strength at the top end resulted in a 15% increase in the aggregate to i1,624,600, which in turn led to a 23% rise in average to i14,769 and a 45% Chris McGrath states the case for Raven=s Pass | Darley increase in the median to i8,000.

    Toyota Blue Grass Stakes® (G2) Sponsored by Toyota 95th Running • Spring • 1 1/8 miles • 3-year-olds The Blue Grass Stakes was named for the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, which is characterized by grass having bluish-green culms and is known as the heart of the Thoroughbred breeding industry. First run at the Kentucky Association track in Lex- ington in 1911, the Blue Grass has, from its inception, served as an important prep for the Kentucky Derby. At the Association track, the Blue Grass was staged from 1911-1914 and 1919-1926. The race was revived at Keeneland in the spring of 1937. In 1943-1944, the Blue Grass was renewed as a part of the Keeneland-at-Churchill Downs meetings. In 1945, the Blue Grass was run as a part of the Churchill Downs meeting. Toyota became the sponsor in 1996. The purse of the race was increased to $1 million in 2015.
