INCREASED this year to two days, on Thursday and Friday, October 3rd and 4th, the Sportsman’s Yearling Sale was revived seven years ago by Goffs and offers another opportunity at Kill for owners and trainers to acquire some well-bred youngsters for the 2020 flat racing season. There are 390 attractive entries in the Sportsman’s Sale catalogue, which is just one less than last year.

Goffs have reminded buyers that the Group 1 winners My Dream Boat, Fleeting Spirit, Kingsfort and Termagant were all purchased quite cheaply at the Sportsman’s Sale in recent years, as was Group 2 star Sir Dancealot.
