IN 2009 Goffs re-established the title of Orby Sale for their premier yearling auction and this year they have catalogued 704 high-class lots for the Orby and Sportsman’s Sales, 51 fewer than last year.

There will be a total of 418 yearlings in the Orby Sale on the Tuesday and Wednesday, October 2nd and 3rd, 50 fewer than last year.
