Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:

“For a one-day sale, the August Sale is punching well above its weight on the track having produced three Grade 1 winners and a Grand National winner in Tiger Roll in the last 15 months. That’s a fantastic achievement for any sale and it highlights the consistent quality of horse that can be found at Doncaster Horses-in-Training Sales. 

“This year we have some classy horses entered in the sale, particularly Point-to-Pointers, and that has led us to introduce the Select P2P/Form Horse Session into this sale, a session that has been well received by vendors and buyers alike at our January and Spring Sales.” 

The Goffs UK August Sale at Doncaster will be held on Wednesday 8 August from 10am. Entries are now open for the Goffs UK September Horses-in-Training Sale at Doncaster (18 – 19 September) and can be made online by entering here.
