FIVE years ago Goffs UK Bloodstock Sales delayed their former October Sale by two weeks and they have now renamed it the Doncaster Autumn Sale, still combining the yearlings and the older horses in one catalogue.
The total entry of 372 lots this November is only eight fewer than in 2015 and includes a considerable number of horses in training from Godolphin on the second day.The 140 yearlings on the first day are 15 more than last year. The auction will take place on Monday, October 31st and Tuesday, November 1st, starting at 12 noon on the first day and 10am on the second.
This yearling sale was given a boost by the success of Belle Royale in the Grade 1 Gamely Stakes at Hollywood Park, following Group 1 wins for top sprinters Borderlescott and Tangerine Trees, and Overturn and Dim Sum are other high-earning graduates.
The sires of the yearlings include such well-known stallions as Equiano, Henrythenavigator, Kheleyf, Kodiac, Monsieur Bond, Nayef, Paco Boy, Rock Of Gibraltar, Showcasing, Tamayuz, Zebedee and Zoffany.
