November 2023

​November is the month when it feels like the season really gets going and you find out a lot about the direction that many of the horses will take over the next few months.

It has been a fruitful month for us with some hugely pleasing victories.

It was brilliant to see Springwell Bay win so impressively at Cheltenham. It’s always a special place to have a winner and was wonderful to see Gay Smith’s colours back in the winner’s enclosure there. This kickstarted a run of seven wins in seven days with Hasthing, Rula Bula, Tap N Go Leo, Itso Fury, Stay If U Want To and Beachcomber all winning.

At the start of the month, Johnnywho and Mister Meggit both won in style up at Carlisle. This was followed up with Magic Seven victorious at Hereford, Inch House winning very nicely at Newbury.

Looking ahead, the Coral Gold Cup (formerly The Hennessy) at Newbury is always an exciting race. We have Monbeg Genius entered and hopefully he will run a big race. We took him and Iron Bridge for a racecourse gallop there last week which they both very much enjoyed.

In addition to the racing, Goffs have launched a new select sale of point-to-pointers at Newbury’s Coral Gold Cup meeting on Saturday 2 December. As always, if you would like to get involved or join us at the sale, please get in touch. You can read more about the sale below.

Here’s to a hugely successful December (and hopefully no snow!),

Stay healthy and best wishes,

Jonjo
