THE bloodstock market will be tested next week when over 500 flat-bred yearlings are offered for sale at the two-day Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale at Kildare Paddocks. Selling starts at 10am on Wednesday (November 1st).

Last year’s catalogue was similar in size and it saw a clearance rate of 77%, with the average price coming in at just under €9,400. One of the top lots was Glamorously (€33,000), winner of the Birdcatcher Nursery at Naas recently. Noel Meade’s Group 3 winner Caught U Looking was a €27,000 purchase here last year.
