SINCE 2014 what used to be part of the Doncaster August Sale has been staged a month later and this year it requires two days, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 17th and 18th September. There will be a new yearling session on the Tuesday, which will replace that at the Doncaster Autumn Sale, with the existing horses in training session on the Wednesday.

The catalogue for this year’s 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, 357 entries in all, including 101 yearlings. Vendors on the Wednesday include Gigginstown House Stud, Shadwell Stud, Seven Barrows, Richard Hannon and Sir Michael Stoute.
