Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:

“Our Yearling and Horses-in-Training sale graduates have had an excellent year on the track and this sale has contributed to that success through the likes of Mabs Cross who took the Listed Fillies Sprint Stakes earlier this month, her fourth consecutive win in 2017, and Thomas Hobson who won at Royal Ascot and is now vying for a place in the Group 1 Melbourne Cup in Australia. 

“The 2017 catalogue will offer some highly promising young horses from some excellent consignors and will also offer buyers yearlings that are eligible for the £300,000 Goffs UK Premier Yearling Stakes at York next August.” 

The catalogue for the Goffs UK Autumn Sale at Doncaster (Tuesday 7 November from 12 noon and Wednesday 8 November from 10am) will arrive in post boxes this week from Friday morning.
