“The Goffs February Sale is a clear market leader at this time of year and its popularity is illustrated by the expansion to three days. Buyers from home and abroad will find unrivalled choice and real quality throughout the catalogue with a day and a half of weanlings, a strong selection of broodmares and fillies, and a wide variety of Flat and National stock of all ages.
