Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:
“The Spring Sale has been advertised as the unofficial end of NH season finale but the results from Aintree’s Randox Health Grand National Festival showed that it can all begin here as well as both Tea For Two and Yanworth are graduates and show the huge talent on offer at Doncaster.
“Once again the demand from breeders for places has been significant and we feel we have put together a strong catalogue of three and four-year-olds for the Store Sale which will, like last year, be held on the first day of the Spring Sale. The Spring Horses-in-Training/Point-to-Point Sale will be held on the two days following on 24 & 25 May.”
