Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:

“Like the Premier Yearling Sale, the Silver Sale has taken a step up this year in terms of quality. The sale’s focus remains, first and foremost, on the individual and there are some cracking horses in the sale following unprecedented demand for places in Premier. 

“Last year we saw further support from the domestic market with more buyers targeting this sale and we attracted a large number of purchasers from throughout Europe as well which drove the clearance rate to 87%. That success, followed by the results of graduates such as Ginger Nut, Moojim and Pleaseletmewin on the track, have meant the sale has enjoyed a successful year which has translated into further support from consignors, some of which are new to the sale in 2018.”
