The catalogue for the Goffs UK August Sale at Doncaster, scheduled for one-day on Wednesday 3 August, is now available to view online and will feature 261 lots, including a new NH 2YO session.
The Doncaster August Sale has long been an established summer outlet for horses-in-training, pointers and stores and this year will add specific sections for NH mares and NH 2YOs. The new 2YO session has been launched in support of the BHA & TBA’s new Junior Hurdle Races which will commence in the Autumn and has been well supported by breeders with 43 horses to be offered in its debut year.
The session will offer 2YOs by sires including Blue Bresil, Dartmouth, Diamond Boy, Doctor Dino, Doyen, Falco, Gentlewave, Getaway, Great Pretender, Jack Hobbs, Jeu St Eloi, Linda’s Lad, Mahsoob, Mondialiste, Montmartre, No Risk At All, Pether’s Moon, Pillar Coral, Sea The Moon, Schiaparelli, Walzertakt, Yeats etc.
The NH mare session has also been well supported with entries headlined by the four-time hurdle winner and Grade 2 victress MISS HERITAGE (Lot 166) in foal to sire of the moment Nathaniel. She will be joined by mares in foal to Bangkok, Jack Hobbs, Walzertakt etc.
The day will open with the horses-in-training and PTP session and includes numerous winning pointers, many of which won their debuts in late May. These include:
The sale will conclude with its traditional NH store session, the last opportunity of the year to buy 3YOs, which will offer 73 lots by Affinisea, Black Sam Bellamy, Champs Elysees, Cokoriko, Dartmouth, Juke Box Jury, Kayf Tara, Mahler, Malinas, Ocovango, Pether’s Moon, Pour Moi, Solider Of Fortune, Westerner, Youmzain, Walk In The Park etc.
Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent commented:
“We are always looking for ways to add to our service and it’s in that spirit that we launch the August Sale’s new NH 2YO session in support of the new Junior Hurdle Races. The new section fits seamlessly into the August Sale, which is an established mid-summer event, and along with the Yorton Sale on 8 September, we now have two sales offering NH 2YOs.
“The mare session has also attracted a good number of entries which are headed by the top-class hurdler Miss Heritage who is sure to generate a lot of interest. Couple that with horses-in-training, stores and some high-class UK & Irish Pointers, many of which have won their debut outings, there is plenty of quality at this sale and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Doncaster on Wednesday 3 August.”
