WITH no fewer than 24 stallions represented by their first yearlings at both the Goffs UK Premier and Silver Sales this week, just five had stock that reached the upper echelons, namely the 35 that sold for £100,000 or more.

The five were Mehmas (Acclamation), Adaay (Kodiac), Shalaa (Invincible Spirit), Estidhkaar (Dark Angel) and Territories (Invincible Spirit). Adaay had three yearlings among this select group, while Mehmas and Shalaa had a pair each.
