FOLLOWING a decade-long break, Goffs returned to Newbury to stage the Coral Gold Cup Sale last year, and produced a very successful edition after racing.

The most recent sale last Saturday was a slightly smaller catalogue, and resulted in a set of results that did not match those of a year earlier. Selectivity among the buyers resulted in 14 lots being sold, down from 18 last time, but the sales company could boast of a top price which bettered that which was achieved in 2023.
