Lakefield Farm's Doctor Dino filly topped Monday's Goffs Doncaster Spring Store Sale when going the way of the father and son team of Aiden and Olly Murphy for £120,000. One of 17 lots to make £50,000 or more, she is out of a half-sister to the Grade 1-winning chaser Le Patron.
“She's gone to a fantastic trainer,” said Lakefield Farm's John Bleahen, who has sold top-notchers Copperhead, L'Astroboy and The Last Samuri as stores at Goffs Doncaster in the past. “Olly's had so many winners last season. He's on his way up and Aiden is a fantastic guy, too. They're a great team–I love them.”
Reflecting on sourcing the filly, he added, “She was an easy buy. The lady I bought her off is a tough customer, and she cost quite a bit of money, but she was one you just had to have. She's from a beautiful line–she's just a queen.”
The Goffs Doncaster Spring Sales continue this week with the HIT/PTP Sale on Wednesday and Thursday, with a day of inspections on Tuesday.
