DAI Walters spent £230,000 on five lots at the inaugural Goffs UK Yorton Sale on Thursday, almost a third of the sale turnover. This initiative, the brainchild of David Futter, was a great success and looks set fair to become an important date in the annual sales calendar.

With over 90% of the lots offered being sold, and all the leading National Hunt personalities present, the catalogue proved to be hugely attractive. Buyers from Ireland, France and a strong home bench were in attendance.
