LATENIGHTMISTAKE

This filly was purchased from the Goffs Sportsman Sale by Nick and Karl on 25th September 2020.

The  Goffs Sportsman Sale was a sale transferred from Naas, Ireland to  Doncaster in the UK in a last-minute decision so the sale could go  ahead.

Nick  has tried to focus on buying the best individuals at the sales and  relying on his ability to see angles that other people don't and in this  filly, we think he has struck gold again.

This  filly is out of the second crop of the stallion Estidkaar. She is  catalogued as being out of a mare who has produced 3 foals and 2  runners. This was catalogued incorrectly by Goffs and her pedigree is  far better than it suggests on paper.

Wishyouwerehere  has actually bred 2 winners from 3 runners. The Anjaal filly 'Qing Shen  Yi Chang' was bought and exported to China where she won twice as a  2yo. The 2yo colt by Prince of Lir was bought by Ben McElroy at the  Yearling Sales for 40,000 Guineas and exported to the U.S. where he is  in training with Wesley Ward. He has ran twice to date finishing 3rd on  debut before going on to win on the turf on his second start at  Gulfstream in a $65,000 Maiden Special Weight. Gulfstream is a premier  track in the U.S. and Maiden Special Weight's are the equivalent of our  Novice races in the UK.

He  has since done a track workout where he recorded the 5th fastest of the  29 horses who worked on that day and looks set to be running again  soon.

This filly was one of the best moving fillies at the sale, she has a great way of going and couldn't be faulted on her action. 

She  is very much in the frame of her sire Estidkaar, she is a shade long  and narrow and wouldn't be as physically strong as the other fillies we  have bought to date.  She looked poorly prepped at the sales and Nick  plans to give her plenty of conditioning work at home before she leaves  but this isn't something that should concern anyone. Turning the clock  back 12 months, she is very much a filly who is in the frame of a Fev  Rover rather than a Dandalla.

Nick sees her as a filly for the second half of the season running over trips between 6 and 8 furlongs.

Nick  and Karl were prepared to bid to £20,000 to secure the filly and feel  they have secured a bargain when buying this filly. Karl has bought a  50% share in this filly.

She  will be trained by Karl Burke who Nick has combined so well with over  recent years. The pair have the undefeated Group 2 and Group 3 winner  Dandalla in 2020 as well as the likes of Group 3 winner Little Kim and  Listed placed Terrichang and Miss Lucy who was sold to race in the U.S.  for a lot of money.
