DESPITE concerns over falling numbers of National Hunt foals being bred, Goffs have attracted a larger offering for next week’s Goffs December NH Sale, which runs from December 8th to 10th inclusive.

The catalogue consists of 814 lots, marking an 8% increase from last year, when a Walk In The Park colt foal topped trade at €160,000. At €155,000, Marie’s Rock came close to claiming the top spot, and there’s a strong chance that a mare will top next week’s renewal. An exciting draft from Willie Mullins’ Closutton Stables features Grade 1 winner Brandy Love, Grade 1 third Lady Vega Allen and dual Grade 2 winner Allegorie De Vassy.
