Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented on the 2017 January Sale catalogue:

“We are delighted with the quality of the catalogue and the fact that the sale has seen an increase in numbers shows that its popularity is growing. The NH Foal session continues to build every year and we will be offering another very attractive line up which comes off the back of strong foal trade in 2016.

“Having the Graham Roach and Victor Thompson Dispersals alongside the likes of the Godolphin and Shadwell drafts certainly adds depth to the Horses-in-Training Session and we are grateful that they chose the Doncaster January Sale in which to offer their drafts. We have secured some high class Point-to-Pointers and Horses-in-Training which will be supplemented into the sale in the coming days and we will continue to source further high class entries over the coming fortnight.”

The sale also features the TBA NH Stallion showcase on Wednesday 25 January in A Yard - 15 stallions available to view.
