Tomorrow’s mare section will include offerings in foal to the likes of Dawn Approach (Ire), Excelebration (Ire), Kodiac (GB), Lawman (Fr), Lope De Vega (Ire), Rip Van Winkle (Ire) and Teofilo (Ire).
“The Goffs February Sale has established itself as a cannot miss event for so many, as it offers unbeatable variety and quality with a diverse catalogue from both codes,” said Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “The full day of weanlings is always a rich source of pinhooking success, and is backed up by our unique Customer Loyalty Scheme that results in no vendor commission when the weanling is reoffered at a Goffs or DBS yearling sale. The second day is dominated by another strong selection of breeding stock with attractive coverings to which we expect to welcome another international buying bench.”
The sale begins at 11 a.m. today and 10 a.m. tomorrow.
