Godolphin draft headlines Feb (Early) Online Sale

Media Release - Friday January 30

A typically interesting Godolphin draft, a yearling by first season sire sensation Anamoe and many exciting racing and breeding prospects feature in a 361-strong catalogue for the Inglis Digital February (Early) Online Sale.

Godolphin will offer a draft of seven 3YOs – including two fillies – headlined by the Stakes performer Chergui (pictured), which most recently was beaten less than two lengths earlier this month at Flemington by the G1 raced Gallant Son.
