Goffs Yorton Sale Returns with £105,000 Top Lot by Doctor Dino

Following a one-year break, the Goffs Yorton Sale returned on Thursday with a 100 per cent clearance rate, with a gelding by Doctor Dino fetching £105,000 from Paul Cowley's Vanquish Bloodstock to headline the sale of 33 National Hunt-bred two-year-olds.

The top lot is already named Doctor Green (lot 20), while another Doctor Dino gelding named Fauchil (lot 13) was the pick of the remainder when sold to to Dai Walters for £95,000, ahead of a Nathaniel filly (lot 12) at £65,000 and a Walk In The Park filly (lot 22) at £60,000. The last-named pair went the way of Mags O'Toole and Lews House Stud, respectively.

Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “This sale has become an established outlet for National Hunt two-year-olds and it's wonderful to see it back on the sale calendar. David [Futter, Yorton Farm owner] and the Yorton team have done a wonderful job once again in putting this sale together. The horses have received praise from everyone here today and a 100 per cent clearance rate speaks volumes to the quality on offer.”
