Grade 2 chase winner Malaita (Malinas) topped the GoffsGo April Sale on Thursday.Sold as lot 23, she caught the eye of Thistletown Stud for £22,000. Consigned by Poplar Cottage Stables, the 10-year-old mare won five times, including the G2 Mares' Novices' Handicap Chase.Malaita is a half-sister to the multiple graded-placed jumper The Saint James (Saint Des Saints). Under the second dam are graded hurdlers Highway To Hell (No Risk At All) and Five O'Clock (Cokoriko).“We are very happy with the sale of Malaita,” said David Minton, part owner in the Four Gents, who raced the mare. “She was retired from racing recently and it was a lovely way to sell her, not having to bring her to a sale. It made life much easier on us! It makes perfect sense with the low commission to use GoffsGo and most importantly we are delighted she's gone to a lovely home in Wexford.”Of the 21 offered, 10 lots sold (48%) for a gross of £89,700. The average was £8,970 and the median was £6,750.Goffs Group chief executive, Henry Beeby said, “GoffsGo continues to expand its customer base and with every sale we are seeing more vendors and buyers using the platform. Today we sold horses for the likes of Willie Mullins, Olly Murphy, Noel Meade, Philip Rowley whilst buyers included BBA Ireland and Stroud Coleman. The platform has also sold horses up to £245,000, the highest price at any UK or Irish Online sale so far in 2026.”The post Malaita Leads The Way As GoffsGo April Sale Ends appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
