SINCE 2014, what used to be part of the Doncaster August Sales has been staged a month later and requires just one day, on Tuesday, September 6th.
The catalogue for this September Sale at the excellent Goffs UK Sales Complex contains a wide range of horses in training, both for the flat and for National Hunt racing, as well as point-to-pointers and some flat and National Hunt stores, 224 entries in all. Vendors include Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms, Gigginstown House, Middleham Park Racing and West Ilsley Stables.
Supplementary entries were being accepted after the main catalogue was printed and details are available on goffsuk.com
Horses sold here in the two previous years include Kool Kompany, who went on to win the Group 3 Craven Stakes, and Little Bruv, successful in the Grade 1 Grande Steeple Chase in Milan.
