Dawn Approach: two lots on offer at Goffs UK both fetched good pricesCredit: John Reardon

Dawn Approach returned the best average price of all new sires with more than one lot sold at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale at Doncaster this week.

The four-time Group 1 winner had two sons on offer – a half-brother to Listed winner Earl Of Leitrim knocked down to John and Jake Warren for £110,000 and a colt out of a winning daughter of Invincible Spirit and Group 1-placed Littlefeather sold to Oliver St Lawrence for £58,000.

The Warrens' purchase represented a decent return on Dawn Approach's €35,000 covering fee, although the other colt had already been knocked down for €70,000 as a foal at Goffs last year.
