Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:
“Our Horses-in-Training graduates have had a brilliant season on the racecourse and the future is certainly bright with three high-class graduates winning all three of the Cheltenham Festival’s Grade 1 Novice Hurdle races. Add in the Grand National and Irish Grand National winners as well as a number of other Grade 1 winners and it has certainly been a vintage season.
“Once again the Spring HIT/P2P Sale will offer numerous drafts of talented horses from the leading owners and trainers, and we are seeing continued growth in the Point-to-Point session. We have already catalogued some high-class Pointers and we will be taking supplementary entries over the next two-weeks in the build-up to the sale so a catalogue that is already very appealing will only get even better.”
