A SATISFACTORY renewal of the Goffs UK August Sale saw an expanded catalogue due to the incorporation of National Hunt yearlings which had originally been intended for the January Sale and could not take place due to the pandemic.

The yearlings, along with a selection of stores, were sold on the second day of the sale. It was a yearling that topped Thursday’s trade, Paul and Sara Thorman’s Trickledown Stud receiving £44,000 for a Blue Bresil colt, the second produce of the winning hurdler Mary Eleanor. The colt was bred by David Redvers and is a grandson of the three-time Grade 1 Cleeve Hurdle winner Lady Rebecca.
