AS expected the trends that manifested themselves quite clearly at the major foal and breeding stock sales in November were once again in evidence throughout this week’s Goffs February Sale.

Over half of the catalogue was given over to yearlings and trade in this sector was of a decidedly mixed variety. This week represented the last chance at public for pinhookers to add to their drafts for the yearling sales in the autumn and many of those that buy to resell turned out at Kildare Paddocks.
