Aga Khan and Jim Bolger drafts set to come under offer at Goffs Online auction

Bidding for Goffs Online Summer Sale will open at midday on Monday, when buyers will have the chance to snap up horses in training from the Aga Khan Studs and Jim Bolger's Glebe House Stables draft.

With 18 lots set to go under the hammer, among the horses on offer is the four-year-old Dawn Approach gelding Geometrical (Lot 14).

Jim Bolger's charge not only defeated the high-class Mogul by over five lengths in a Gowran Park maiden but also finished a close-up second to Armory in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh on his next start.

Bolger will also consign another winner by his resident stallion in Stylistic Approach (11), a full-brother to the stakes-placed Strapped, and the three time-winning Ivawood filly Ivy Avenue (17), out of a Sadler's Wells half-sister to two stakes performers including Group 3 Desmond Stakes third Middlemarch.

The Aga Khan Studs offer six horses including the unraced Mastercraftsman filly Shebiyra (4), out of the stakes-placed Dubai Destination mare Shebella and from the family of dual Derby winner Shahrastani, plus the once-raced Oasis Dream gelding Hamidabad (3), a three-year-old out of a winning half-sister to Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial scorer Hazapour and from the family of champion three-year-old Harzand.

Willie McCreery offers a winning son of Kodi Bear in Wood Ranger (19), from the family of Fred Darling Stakes winner Dan's Dream, while Jessica Harrington consigns an unraced daughter of Australia in Kangaroo Court (20), a daughter of the Group-placed Danehill Dancer mare True Verdict and from the family of Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Favoletta.

Bidding for the lots will close 24 hours after the first lot opens. The catalogue can be found here.
